This week at the Market we have lots of great events for you to check out while while you’re shopping for your local farm-fresh food. We have a free gardening class, a guest chef, a local Artisan, a special “swap” event and specials from both Gossett’s Nursery and our Gossett’s Farm Market vendors. Sounds interesting? Then read on!

Free Gardening 101 Class – 1:00 to 3:00 pm
Shrubs: The Backbone of the Home Landscape. Melissa, our resident garden expert and plant buyer for Gossetts Nursery, will discuss how to best use shrubs in boulders and foundation plantings.

Take a guided tour of the Nursery’s wonderful shrubs collection and jot down some ideas for new and interesting additions to your home landscape. Their will be plenty of time for some Q&A at the end of the class. No need to pre-register, just pop in and enjoy the time with Melissa.

Deborah Nelson is coming back to the Market as our guest chef. Debbie will take ingredients from the Market and cook up something special, healthy and fun. It’s the first chef demo of the spring and its going to be delicious!

Local Artisan
Jaja Requa, who graduated from Parsons in 1999 with an A.A.S in fashion design and then went on to design for Bugle Boy and Yves Saint-Luarent, is bringing her exciting fashions for both adults and kids to the Market.
.
These unique, quality handmade clothes are grounded in the belief that one can break the rules and look good doing it, and she does!

Special Event – Garden Tool Swap
Its another first for the Market! Here is a great idea and depending on how good this one goes, we would like to plan several more “swap” events. Here is how it works, gather up your gently used garden tools, the ones you don’t need and bring them to the Market to share, trade or barter for something you need.
.
Sharpen your bargaining skills and come trade with your neighbors and make new friends. Gossett Brothers Nursery will donate a pack of organic seeds to everyone who trades at the event. You can find more information at The Katonah Green Calendar.
.
Thanks to Stacyknows, EcoKaren Lee and Slow Food Westchester for help in getting the word out and to Teich Garden Systems who is giving out tools to “swap” participants.
