A Trip to the Phantom Gardener

I recently made a trip to The Phantom Gardiner in Rhinebeck NY. I did not go alone it was a trip organized by the Old Dutch Garden Club of Red Hook.

Purpose of the trip to the Phantom Gardener

We were attending a talk given by My. Lazar the owner of the Phantom Gardener, the topic was Organic vegetable gardening. This was the perfect place for such a discussion since organic gardening is a specialty of this garden center.

There was discussion of soil preparation, the importance of composting as well as the type of manure that should be incorporated into the soil. There was discussion on how to deal with different bugs and pests as well as our 4 footed friends like the deer. We also learned about various organic products that could help us to have a great season.

At the Phantom Gardener you will find the Bookstore where you can sit and read, workshops are also held in that space. There are lots of products available, seeds, plants, pest control items, ornamental garden items, pots and much more.

The Phantom Gardener is also popular with second home buyers in Rhinebeck and the rest of the Northern Dutchess and Southern Columbia areas because of the assistance they receive in setting up organic gardens, vegetable or flower.
