FARMINGTON — The Mt. Blue Area Garden Club is set to host gardener Barbara Emerson for a free presentation on edible landscape design at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Trinity United Methodist Church on Farmington Falls Road. Light refreshments will be served at 5:30 pm.

After 30-plus years in sales and marketing, including 16 years at Horticulture magazine,  Emerson is semi-retired and living in Maine. She is past treasurer and past president of the Direct Gardening Association, a principal master gardener, and a home gardener with a passion for growing both new and heirloom vegetables.

Starting with a brief history of food gardening, she will cover the concepts to consider when integrating edible plants in one’s ornamental garden, or edible flowers into one’s vegetable garden.
