Debbie Hatch’s Kitchen Garden in Summer
The guest speaker for the Orcas Island Garden Club meeting on November 14, 2012 will be Debby Hatch. Debby is a master gardener who has grown a four-season vegetable garden on Lopez for the past twenty years. In the beginning, her kitchen garden was a hayfield, part of the ten acres she and her husband Scott bought in the middle of Lopez Island. Today it is a collection of vegetable, berry and fruit tree beds.
From 2006-2011, Debby wrote the monthly Green Living column for the Islands’ Weekly. She has given workshops for the WSU Master Gardeners, the Lopez Garden Club and others. She currently writes the blog Lopez Island Kitchen Gardens: https://lopezislandkitchengardens.wordpress.com/
Debby will help Garden Club members plan and harvest their own year-round vegetable gardens. Your garden can provide food in every season and become more beautiful each year. The meeting will be held on November 14, at 10 a.m. in the Madrona Room of Orcas Center.
