EDIBLE LANDSCAP
ING WORKSHOP: Master Gardener and Interior Designer Denise Maurer will be presenting a workshop entitled Edible Landscaping on Tuesday, June 9th at 6PM, for the Troy Public Library. Yes, it’s different.... and a bit outside the box. But just imagine the stunning combinations you’ll create by marrying edibles and flowers in your garden designs. In this class you’ll learn how to mix and match, what to consider while planning your garden, tips on soil preparation and how to pick the perfect site. You’ll see that using edibles in an ornamental role will grace your garden with additional texture, color and add the benefit of attracting beneficial bugs and pollinators, which increase harvest. This unique approach is perfect for those gardeners who are thinking “smaller” or just want to shake things up a bit. This program will be conducted via zoom. Please register using your email address so that we can send you a link to the presentation. This program is free and open to the public. Please register online at www.thetroylibrary. org.

BEEKMAN STREET ART FAIR: CANCELED - The 8th annual Beekman Street Art Fair scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2020has been cancelled due to the Covid-19pandemic. Thanks to the flexibility of funding agencies, generosity of supporters and creativity of the event planners, fair goers will still get to browse and purchase an amazing variety of fine art and craft. Project managers are working with grantor Saratoga Arts to use the funds awarded for the fair on some alternate events later in the summer that will follow City and State guidelines for public safety. The first event being planned is an online auction accessed through the Beekman Street Arts District website at SaratogaArtDistrict.com. The auction will go live on June 7, 2020and run for 2weeks straddling what would have been the actual fair date of June 14, 2020. The online auction put together by Arts Spark will feature the work of artists who would have participated in this year’s fair. After the auction the e-commerce site will remain, allowing BSAF artists and Saratoga Springs Arts District, Inc. members the opportunity to sell online all year through the website. If it is deemed safe to do so, the project team is also planning to host three late summer Second Sunday Pop-Up Art events on the lawns, porches, and interiors of the Arts District shops. These would be held on the second Sundays of each month - July 12, August 9, and Sept 13, 2020. The idea is to have a different set of 2020BSAF artists each week along with strolling musicians and street performers for small scale festive, family friendly events.
