SUMMARY:Open House at the Demonstration Gardens at The Center at Belvedere
DESCRIPTION:From 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.\, the Piedmont Master Gardeners will offer educational exhibits and tours of the rose and pollinator demonstration gardens at The Center at Belvedere in Charlottesville. As part of The Center’s programming during the International Council on Active Aging’s Active Aging Week\, the free tours will show how a rose garden can be successfully maintained with organic practices. Tours of the pollinator garden will highlight how an assortment of at least 70 percent native perennials\, combined with nectar-rich annuals\, will support pollinators across the growing season. Throughout the day\, a Mobile Helpdesk staffed by Master Gardeners will answer gardening questions and provide resources such as kits for submitting soil test samples to Virginia Tech.

SUMMARY:Dig into the Health Benefits of Gardening
DESCRIPTION:In addition to providing nutritious fruits and vegetables\, beautiful landscapes\, and fresh flowers\, gardening offers a variety of health benefits. As a part of special programming in recognition of the International Council on Active Aging’s Active Aging Week\, retired nurses and PMG members Kathy Floyd and Beth White will explain how we can reap all of the physical and mental health rewards that gardening can bring us. They will examine the benefits of gardening from a historical perspective while exploring the positive impacts of being outside and caring for a garden–on both our physical well-being and our state of mind. Further\, they will outline strategies for protecting ourselves and avoiding injuries while working in the garden. This presentation will also highlight opportunities for gardening in our community.
