Join us for an exciting gathering where we'll dive into the world of winter growing! Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a newbie, this woekshop is perfect for you. Our expert speakers Michelle Cannon and Morgan Sisson of Larryville Gardens will share their knowledge and tips to help you succeed in your winter gardening adventures. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your green thumb skills and connect with fellow urban agriculture enthusiasts.
Gardeners in our area tend to finish the growing season with their tomato taste buds being finally satiated in late August. Then a few winter squash size up and it’s all done and gone with the whisper of frost in the air. We know a few pretty simple techniques you too can use to pull beautiful delicious root crops, herbs, and salads out of your garden thru Thanksgiving most years and past Christmas in the very few mild years.I’d like to tickle your gardener's ear with tales of flavor and beauty from protected culture in your backyard. Then tell you how you too can accomplish it. There should be plenty of time for questions and answers. -Michelle Cannon, farmer and presenterDiscussion topics include mulches, row covers, low tunnels, high tunnels, timing of plantings and specific crop timinings, and tool selection and use.
Mark your calendars and get ready to grow!
