On this episode of the EarthWorks Podcast, step back into the early days of the United States. We visit Liberty Hall Museum in Union, New Jersey, adjacent to Kean University and once home to a founding family, including a signer of the Constitution and the first elected governor of New Jersey.
Kayla Doyle, Curator of Archives, sets the stage with historical context before Megan Couch, Assistant Director of Grounds, and Jeff Eckert, Director of Buildings and Grounds, join us for a lively discussion about the museum’s beautiful plants and grounds. From heirloom varieties to special garden features, they share what makes this historic farm so unique.
A successful flower program is measured by the number of new blooms that emerge throughout the season. Take a cue from Liberty Hall Museum’s fertilization strategy in Union, New Jersey, to maximize the initial bloom and keep pushing new buds all summer long. Their program uses EarthWorks Myco Replenish 3-3-3, Replenish 5-4-5, and consistent applications of Sea3, both as a root zone drench and a foliar spray.
