September is the perfect time to take stock of your garden. And wouldn’t we all benefit from a way to look at our landscape with fresh eyes? If this sounds good to you, join the Blackstone Valley Gardeners and Rochelle Greayer as she encourages us to try “Using Photography to Improve Your Garden”.

Rochelle is a former rocket scientist (yes, really) turned garden designer, author, teacher, and blogger. Her book Cultivating Garden Style – Inspired Ideas and Practical Advice to Unleash Your Garden Personality hints at her philosophy of design. Rochelle studied at The English Gardening School in London and started her own design studio in 2001. Rather than try slavishly to emulate a grand garden, Rochelle will encourage us to discover our own style, and to use that to create a successful

landscape in which we will feel comfortable.

The Blackstone Valley Gardeners is a local institution, formed in 1992 by avid gardeners seeking the fellowship of others who were similarly inclined. Members come from nearly a dozen area towns, and meet monthly from September through June. Meetings are held at the United Methodist Church, 61 Linwood Avenue in Whitinsville at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month. For easy access to a meeting, enter through the parking lot that is behind the shops on the south side of Church Street and use the rear entrance to the church.

Gardeners from throughout the Valley are welcome free of charge as first-time guests, or may become members for $25 a year. The BVG is an active club, dedicated to the advancement of horti- culture at home and in the community, as well as the conservation of the environment.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, September 14th at 7:00 p.m. Rochelle Greayer will help us gain the skills and confidence that we need to see our gardens in a whole new way.
