Press release from the Bronx River-Sound Shore Audubon Society about one of their upcoming programs:
“Organic Gardening – Learn Why and How to Do It
“Wednesday, February 4, 7:30 p.m.
Bronxville Public Library
201 Pondfield Rd., Bronxville, NY
The New Year’s resolution of Al Krautter is to broaden gardeners’ knowledge of organic gardening. His program will explain why it is important to switch to organic gardening practices and how to do it.
His newsletter reveals his passion for this healthy approach to gardening:
“Convincing people to go organic is an educational process. Once you master organics, you will never turn back. The rewards are too great, the earth so pure, the flowers so brilliant, the birds so happy and the grass so healthy to play on. You will feel good in contributing to a better environment and in doing your part for the next generation.”
Sprainbrook Nursery, owned by Al Krautter, is now the leading organic garden center in Westchester County.
Al has organic programs for growing annuals, perennials, vegetables and lawns. After his talk, there will be a Q&A session.
Learn how you, too, can green up your garden and the planet by growing organically.
This program is free to the public. A social gathering with refreshments precedes the program beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
