Description

Join us to learn how to make the most out of small growing spaces with thoughtful crop selection! We’ll discuss key practices of organic growing and focus on how to choose annual, biennial and perennial crops that grow well in our maritime climate, and provide abundant harvests. During this session, we will highlight perennial crops that could are great options for P-Patch gardeners.

This in-person workshop will include a conversational lecture, time for Q&A, and a walk through the garden.
