Sowing Seeds in Autumn Fall Urban Gardening Series Part 1
Don't let summer's waning days put an early end to your gardening activity! Come learn which established crops will thrive in your garden through fall, and what you can still plant in September (and even October) in order to maximize your garden's late-season potential.
This workshop will focus mainly on cold-hardy plant selection (particularly varieties that will thrive in a garden with low-tech season extension mechanisms like hoophouses and cold frames). This workshop will also cover how to plant garlic in late fall (which does not require season extension). Basic techniques for planting cover crops for healthy soil, season extension tips and approaches for mitigating early frosts will be touched on as well.
Individuals with existing gardens as well as those with new gardens built late in the season, or school gardens to be planted when students return, will learn techniques to make the most of their growing space before winter arrives.
Instructor Sadie Richards recently finished a service year with FoodCorps, a national service organization engaging students in growing school gardens, facilitating hands-on food education, and increasing student access to local fresh fruits and vegetables. She holds an MPH in environmental health and is currently working as the Massachusetts FoodCorps Fellow, supporting the state's 2nd year of FoodCorps service members.
