A hands-on opportunity to build upon your gardening knowledge, this workshop will demonstrate organic-inspired techniques for soil preparation, garden planning (spacing, mapping, crop rotation), as well mulching at a small-scale, commercial, permaculture-inspired farm. Learn about the benefits of cold weather gardening. Wear weather-appropriate clothing/footwear and bring a lunch. Participants will leave with vegetable seedlings and a reference resource workbook. This workshop is to take place at Spruce Spring Stream Farms.
