It was an interesting program, but I was staffing the Birthplace that day and kept getting pulled away by other things. Fortunately, Angelo Jiordano from
The Pocahontas Times was there and describes the event in an excellent article that appeared in the paper this week.
Sunday visitors to the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Gardens enjoyed a
return to "The Good Earth," with free garden tours, demonstrations, and a
little bit of history behind the famed author and humanitarian.
Event organizers invited local "mostly-retired" farmer Cad Tyler to
talk about some of the tools he uses, and share some tricks he's learned
in his 60 years of farming. Tyler also talked about organic gardening
author Elliot Coleman
and some of the methods he employs.
