“Bountiful Backyard” Celebration, Saturday, Oct 10

The First “Bountiful Backyard” Celebration

Saturday, October 10, 11 a.m.–3 p.m.
Bylane Farm, 35 Todd Road, Katonah

The inaugural season at Bylane Farm’s newly established pesticide-free, bird-friendly vegetable garden has been a smashing success. A ground-breaking Intergeneration Summer Program was held for children and seniors, and a whopping crop of 177 pounds of produce have been harvested and donated to the Mount Kisco Community Center.

As a fitting conclusion to this program and in celebration and appreciation of the many volunteers from Master Gardeners and others who have worked tirelessly through the summer to keep up the garden, we invite the community to a festive day at Bylane Farm.

The day’s program will include:

  • Workshops in harvesting/storing of vegetables (root cellaring and drying)

  • Demonstrations on how to attract birds to your garden and make bird houses from gourds

  • Book Sale - over 500 bird books will be offered for sale starting at $2.00 each

  • Nature walks with Naturalist Tait Johansson

  • Handouts, displays

  • Refreshments

Rain or shine. Admission is free. Please follow signs to parking area across the street from Bylane. Please do not park on Todd Road.
