The University of Maine Cooperative Extension is hosting a field day from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 14, at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm in Falmouth.
Cooperative extension staff and volunteer master gardeners will demonstrate how to prepare gardens for winter with an emphasis on practices that support wildlife and how to conduct a soil test and deal with the results. Other demonstrations also will be included along with child-friendly activities.
Tidewater Farm is at 200 Presumpscot Road. No registration is required for the Oct. 14 event.
