Location: Garfield Community Farm - Community Allotment Garden (entrance is a wooden gate near the corner of Wicklow and Cornwall)
Time: 11 - 12:30p
Description: Join us to learn how to extend your garden season into the fall! We’ll focus on planting a fall garden in the ground or in containers and. We’ll chat about growing cool weather crops like collards, kale, cabbage, spinach and more, preparing your garden space for the season change, growing in containers, and tips to have a bountiful fall harvest! Each participant will receive a free packet of cool season seeds to grow at home. Childcare will be provided!
This workshop is part of Garfield Farm’s Food and Knowledge to the People Project which aims to increase access to fresh produce, teach skills to grow and preserve food, and provide opportunities for people-to-people knowledge sharing and hands-on experience that helps build the confidence to grow culturally relevant and affordable produce. Many thanks to the SWPA United Way Community Food Solutions Grant program for supporting this project!
