Join us to learn some tips and techniques of cold weather gardening to make the fullest use of your space and time. The ideas, concepts and tools are intended to help the home or market gardener start vegetable growing earlier in the spring, extend the harvest later into the fall, and even overwinter some plants for a real early start. May include a panel discussion with some local people making use of high tunnels in the area.
Dan Goldman is a local horticulturist who provides technical consulting and training on both a paid and volunteer basis. He has formal degrees in vegetable production and horticulture, with research experience in several states. He will be providing a short, complimentary, introductory training session at no charge on behalf of the Faith and Grace Garden.
