To ensure no one gets left behind, all residents, businesses, and communities across the state will have access to new opportunities to benefit from this transition, including home improvements, rebates for businesses and transportation, and clean energy careers. But there’s a lot of information out there, and people may not know where to start.To help New Yorkers access and navigate these opportunities, NYSERDA created the Regional Clean Energy Hubs. As part of this effort, the Capital Region Clean Energy Hub was established to connect people living and working in the area to local resources that will help them transition to a clean energy economy.The Capital Region Clean Energy Hub is a collaboration of non-profit organizations that have been serving and uplifting communities in Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren, and Washington counties in various capacities. Together we are working to advance equitable access to clean energy solutions and jobs in the Capital Region.Learn more about the Capital Region Energy Hub Lisa Gallina, lag292@cornell.edu, (518) 622-9820 x 220 ========================================= Dig In!

Labels are even more useful if they also include information about the growing conditions, appearance, and flavor.) Please bring only viable seeds . Below is a list of seeds and how many seasons they are viable: 1 year: onions, parsnips, parsley, spinach, Anemone, Aster, Begonia’ Chives, Coneflower, Coreopsis, Delphinium, Larkspur, Nigella, Pansy, Phlox, Salvia, Vinca, Viola 2 years: corn, peas, beans, chives, okra, dandelion, Ageratum, Baby’s breath, Candytuft, Clarkia, Columbine, Coreopsis, Cyclamen, Dahlia, Dusty miller, Four o’clock, Foxglove, Gaillardia, Impatiens, Lisanthus, Lupin, Marigold, Nicotiana, Penstemon, Petunia, Portulaca, Rue, Statice, Strawflower, Tithonia 3 years: carrots, leeks, asparagus, turnips, rutabagas, Achillea, African daisy, Alyssum, Amaranth, Anise, Bachelor Button, Calendula, Campanula, Caraway, Cosmos, Dianthus, Didiscus, Dill, Fennel, Hollyhock, Lobelia, Marigold, Marjoram, Poppy, Sage, Savory, Scabiosa,Shasta daisy, Snapdragon, Stock, Sweet pea, Sunflower, Thyme, Verbena 4 years: peppers, chard, pumpkins, squash, watermelons, basil, artichokes, cardoons, Centaurea, Celosia, Lavatera, Morning glory, Nasturtium, Sweet alyssum 5 years: most brassicas, beets, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, muskmelons, celery, celeriac, lettuce, endive, chicory, Basil Borage Carnation Catnip Chrysanthemum, Cilantro, Hollyhock, Lavendar, Lemon Balm, Oregano, Zinnia How many seeds to bring.

You want to take at least the minimum number of seed necessary to meet your home garden needs but at the same time you want to leave plenty of seed for other participants to try. Some general suggestions are to share larger quantities of smaller seeds and smaller quantities of larger seeds. For most home gardeners 12-20 tomato or pepper seeds, 20-25 bean or pea seeds, and 25-50 flower or herb seeds should more than suffice.

Mary Ann Iaccino: Seed Starting Growing up on a family-owned and operated fruit farm, working side by side with her parents and family makes gardening ingrained in Mary Ann. She will never get tired of saying, “Yes, I grew that!” Gardening has always been something she loves to do and talk about. Mary Ann also enjoys gaining knowledge and making friends who share a passion for gardening. Before moving to Columbia County in 2005, she became a Master Gardener Volunteer in the 1990s when she lived in Dutchess County. Mary Ann received her instruction from Darryl David in Ulster County with the first MGV group established there. Mary Ann has a background in secondary science education and in business, is semi-retired, and only wishes there were two growing seasons here. Her favorite quote sums it up: “To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.” -Gandhi Frieda Pearce: Vegetable Gardening Frieda Pearce is a Master Gardener through CCE Columbia-Greene. As her undergraduate minor was botany, she has always been interested in flora, however, her exposure centered around tropical and subtropical species. After a career in research and teaching, she has now reverted to discovering North American habitat, its species, and their maintenance. She has developed a passion for vegetable gardening, growing trees and natives, and trying to manage their viability without the use of pesticides and repellents. She divides her efforts between Columbia County and Riverside Park in New York.  Patricia Esposita: Vegetable Gardening Patricia was born and raised in Greene County. Her Dad was a chicken farmer and they had 2000 laying hens. She helped collect and deliver eggs. Girl Scouts and 4H were Patricia’s after school activities growing up as well as a large garden of vegetables that they would exhibit at the youth fair. Sewing, especially quilting has always been a passion. Patricia and her husband have 2 children (boy and girl) and 2 grandchildren (ditto). When she retired from business, part-time gardening jobs as well as volunteering with Hospice and meals on wheels filled her days. Patricia’s best friend suggested they take the Master Gardener class in 2014, and they have been having a lot of fun ever since. Environmental and ecological issues are very dear to her heart. Being a master gardener enriched Patricia’s life immensely. It has been her pleasure to be of service to Columbia Greene Cooperative Extension. Linda Levitt: Terrarium Gardening Linda is not a stranger to this area. Many family members owned property here in Copake and Craryville as far back as the 1930’s. She spent many hours here visiting her Grandparents and extended family. She moved to Copake full-time in December 2014, after retiring from the insurance industry. She owned her own insurance agency for 30 years with a specialty in employee benefits. She always loved gardening and in 2014 she became a Master Gardener Volunteer. She has since earned an advanced certification in horticulture and landscape design from Berkshire Community College and Berkshire Botanical Garden. She sits on the Board of Directors of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene counties. She volunteers as a docent at the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge, MA. She is also a member of the Germantown Garden Club. She has designed containers and gardens for clients here in the Hudson Valley.
