Description

Mid-summer is the perfect time to start planning your fall and winter garden so that you can keep eating fresh vegetables all year. For fall and winter harvests, it’s important to get seeds and starts in the garden early enough to allow them growth while the sun is still shining. A little planning and effort now will pay off deliciously during the dark days of winter!

In this class we will:

  • Discuss overwintering vegetables and hardy greens that can be harvested throughout the fall and winter
  • Learn how to choose appropriate seeds and starts and where to get them
  • Get solutions for fitting new plants into your existing garden, germinating seeds in hot summer weather and using season extension devices throughout the cold season

This in-person class will be outdoors with hands-on activities. Class size is limited to about 15 people, and we will be following current public health recommendations. Please dress for the weather.
