Description

Start early, last longer with a Covered Raised Bed. Learn successful Seed Starting Techniques so you have a head start on spring planting. Season Extension Master Class - Spring This winter has been a challenge, in many ways. In the past few weeks we've had snow storms that have stopped transit in our region, kept people at home from work, and reminded us again, that we do live in the snow belt. If you're a grower, winter is often seen as the downtime. But at Food Depot to Health we’re urban growers who recognize that people need fresh, local, healthy food, all year round. We have expertise in hoop house production, growing in covered raised beds - or growing indoors in your attic, basement, or windowsill. We’re committed to empowering people to eat healthy food that they have grown themselves or procured locally, every day of the year. If that’s something that interests and excites you, then our Season Extension Master Class is where you need to be on Saturday March 5th. Our season extension experts will share with you numerous ways to grow in the cold months, and we’ll build a covered raised bed in the class, so that you’ve seen it done, and can duplicate it in your space if you so desire. Topics covered include. Seed starting Early season crops Indoor growing Hoop house growing Crop protection techniques Food is our first name, so we'll have a food demonstration with samples. During this Master Class, we’ll integrate food that we’ve grown in February and March of 2022, or that has overwintered from 2021. You will taste and see the benefit of implementing Season Extension practices. A light lunch will be provided for the In-Person participants.
