March 11 - Boost Your Nutrition, Boost Your Mood: Find Colorful, Delicious, and Local Greens, Roots, and Shoots to Counter the Winter Blues.
We will discuss the produce on offer at local markets and greenhouses while we cook up a hearty soup and learn about nutrient density and human health.
March 25 - Organic Pest Management
As our gardens start to grow in spring, so do pest populations! Learn to be proactive in protecting your produce through applying IPM (integrated pest management) in your home garden. Participants will learn about pest life cycles, identifying damage, preventative cultural practices, as well as organic and sustainable interventions. Folks will leave this workshop with their own pest management plans, as well as supplies for a biological control garden that’s both beautiful and beneficial!
April 8 - A Feast for More Than the Eyes: Planning An Edible Flower Garden
At this workshop, participants will have a chance to plan out their flower gardens for timing and blooms throughout the seasons. We will learn about edible flowers, their human and ecological uses, and folks can take home recipes and some early flower seedlings to jump start spring bloom
