Description

Reinvigorate your garden and growing spaces. Have a small growing area? Are you stuck planting the same things in the same places every year? Puzzled about how to arrange annuals vs. perennials? Reinvigorate your garden and growing spaces by gaining some knowledge about which crops rotate well year to year, which vegetables grow next to and complement each other well, and how to arrange plants to make sure you get the highest quality fruits and vegetables possible. Workshop attendees will leave with a laminated sheet customized to your space, to sketch and plan your planting schemes year after year, as well as seed packets to get you started. **Participants should bring a laptop and/or tablet if they want to develop a digital map of their grounds.** **We are cognizant of the protective and preventative measures that need to be taken in the era of Covid-19. We will be holding this workshop outside if the weather is fine, or in the case of rain or cold, in the loft of the White Barn with outdoor air ventilation. In either location there will be plenty of room for social distancing. Participants should dress in warm clothes in case of cold weather. Masks will be required for all participants.** Presenter: Nicole Tautges, PhD, has 10 years of experience in field crop production and gardening, and is an expert in crop rotation and ecological plant and soil management. Nicole is eager to help other people expand and optimize their growing spaces to grow food and enhance beauty and biodiversity.
