Spring Turf Renovation – Jan 28th

Posted in: Environment, Events, Lawns On: Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Fresh Green Grass

Saturday, January 28th @ 1:00pm

Mia Mengucci, Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturist, is back to help get your lawn started and/or renovated for the upcoming season. Learn all the steps for spring, summer & fall to get your lawn in top shape. Mia will teach you how to properly seed your lawn for successful germination, whether you are starting with a new lawn or over-seeding an existing lawn. Are you interested in organic lawn care? She will cover the alternative organic products that you can use to keep your kids, pets and the environment safe. The first step to a healthy lawn is knowing the pH of your soil which can be adjusted by adding lime, a simple fix to many lawn problems. Primex can test the pH of your soil free of charge at any time. Please bring your sample to class, be sure to collect 1/2 cup of soil from 4″ below the surface and make sure the sample is dry (just lay it out on newspaper for a couple days).

Increase your gardening knowledge in 2012 by attending our Winter/Spring Lecture Series.  We offer informative interactive classes taught by our knowledgeable staff and guest lecturers.  All classes run approximately 1 hour.  Space is limited and registration is required.  There is a $10 fee per class due at time of registration.  (**Unless otherwise noted & exempt from gift card.)  You must pay in advance.  A $5 Primex Gift Card will be issued to each paid registrant that attends the lecture.  Register in the store or by calling 215-887-7500

Testimonials

Primex Garden Center has been a great supporter of the Seeds for Learning program, from seed and pot donations to helping us get the best cost for merchandise from their vendors. We really appreciate Primex being an ally in Philadelphia’s urban agriculture movement, as well as for our neighborhood youth.

—Tara Anastasi (Seeds for Learning, Program Manager | Foundations, Inc.)

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support of Penn State Extension programs through the years. I am particularly grateful to you (Primex) for your recent donation of 25 Earthboxes for our Harvest- 4-Health program. Looking forward to continuing this partnership into the next season.

—John Byrnes (County Extension Director, Philadelphia County | Penn State University)

On behalf of everyone at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, thank you and Primex Garden Center for your generous donation of 36 Earthboxes for use in our Green City Teachers program. We are so grateful to have your continued support of PHS, and thank you for enabling the continued success of our programs through your cooperation.

—Drew Becker (President, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society)

Our Community Garden will be a huge success, in part due to your generous donation of soil, grass seed, mulch and fertilizer. Your personal commitment was incredibly helpful in allowing us to start our community garden at Health Center 9. Your assistance means so much to me, but even more to the Americorps members, Health Center Staff and Patients. Thanks for your generosity and quality products!

—Jaymee Biscoe & Dan Ryan (Patient Assistance Advocates at Health Center 9 | Americorps Volunteers)

Because of the beautiful plants and flower donations, the school yard has been transformed into a wonderful, colorful place for our students and children of the community can play and enjoy the lovely scenery while using the playground. Again, thank you for such generous contributions.

—Dr. Francine Fulton (Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Imani Education Circle Charter School)

Thank you very much for your contributions to my Eagle Scout Project. The project was extremely successful. Fifty volunteers helped to plant the over 2000 bulbs donated. The residents at the Abramson Center had a great time interacting with community members and now enjoy the color and beauty that the garden brings to the center. My project would not have been so successful had you not been so kind.

—Michael Wheatman
