Herb Saplings
Tour of Sheridan and Stephen Nice’s garden
801 Forest Ave., Johnson City, TN 37601
Thursday, August 6 at 6 pm
Sheridan’s working garden has a little of everything: veggies, herbs, fruits and flowers. Steve says “We still have squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, berries, melons, figs, grapes, beans and peppers. Everyone should be ready to pick and eat as they tour.”
Steve will give a 20 minute talk on chitosan, biochar and how he is regenerating and protecting against pathogens in their garden with a glucosamine called chitosan. He will give up to 50 attendees free 32-oz bottles of Garden Shield, made with concentrated chitosan and citric acid, both EPA-25(b) exempt ingredients for agriculture. It is registered as an exempt pesticide in Tennessee. They are also inspected by the TN Department of Agriculture annually, as a plant producer. Please bring a chair for the talk and a gallon freezer bag for a free biochar sample.
Their website is https://chitosanglobal.com. Steve just published The Chitosan Handbook, which is available free on the website.
Sheridan says that parking on the street is fine, and they have a circular
driveway that can park at least 6 cars. Still it’s good to carpool if you can.
They are in the middle of some plumbing work, so they are sorry that bathrooms
will not be available.
All SAPS members are welcome to attend.
If rain is forecast, the tour will be rescheduled.
