Spring is HERE on the North Fork of Long Island!
March 28th, 2008 category: Real Estate News
I’m working on our garden now, and am absent a “green thumb.”
Because our neighborhood is home to a herd of deer, my efforts are focused on the back yard- anything that I’ve planted in the front seems to get “gobbled up.”
In perusing the Suffolk Times, our local paper offers much in the way of expert advice- and I’m ready to be a student.
In the “coming up” section of the Suffolk Times-www.suffolktimes.com, there is a class (free) being offered in Quogue that may well assist with front yard plantings. Instructed by Beverly Rood, this class proffers advice on taming the “beast” by planting deer-resistant foliage. It will take place on April 4th at 7p.m. at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. For further info, call 631-653-4771.
Additionally, the Riverhead Free Library will be offering a class on creating gardens in small spaces. This offering will be instructed by Lynne Thompson, who the Suffolk Times refers to as ” The Garden Lady.” This discussion takes place on April 10th, from 6-7 p.m. For info, call 631-727-3228.
While this may have more to do with my own gardening incompetence that buyers or sellers of real estate on the North Fork, if you are preparing to sell your home, the info provided may well assist you in achieving a “curb appeal” that is irresistable to potential buyers on the North Fork.
In the meantime, I’m going to go examine a little green thing that has emerged in my own garden, and hope that it’s one of the perennials that I planted last year- before Oliver (shown above last summer) steps on it!
