Hyde speaks on easy gardening for Bennington club
Mrs. Louis K. Hyde president of the Bedford Garden Club addressed the Bennington Garden Club at Old Bennington Schoolhouse on July 19. She urged planting near the house to save steps and suggested a formal garden with paths of brick or pebbles. Mulch and selective plantings such as creeping roses and daylilies reduce work while keeping appeal.
