Interested in vegetable gardening but not sure where to begin? This is the workshop for you! Get a jumpstart on your garden plans with information on the square foot gardening technique and how you can apply it at home. There will be lots of time for Q&A plus an opportunity to glean some seeds leftover from last year’s farm production. Learn all about what you need for a garden, then come back on Saturday, May 20 to buy plant starts at our Farm Plant Sale! This is a great opportunity to get the knowledge you need for a successful veggie garden.

 

Note: Program is for adults and teens ages 13 and up with adult supervision.
