UMaine Cooperative Extension Piscataquis County is happy to announce, back by popular demand, the gardening with raised beds series. This year Master Gardener Volunteer, Dotty Hadler and Janet Yelch-Weatherbee will teach you how to go from start to finish, or more appropriately, from boards to harvest. In this series you will learn, hands-on, how to build, plant, maintain, and harvest from raised beds.
