Description

Come learn about how to get your home vegetable garden off to a solid start this Spring in this hands on workshop at the PEG Demo Garden! It's time to start planting! March is the perfect time to get your gardening season planted with vegetables that love a cold wet Oregon Spring. In this hands-on workshop we will talk about the very best vegetables for planting at this time of year including lettuce, arugula, spinach, radishes, turnips, sugar snap peas, onions, and more! During this workshop we will discuss planting methods from seeds and starts, fertility needs, pest and disease considerations, early season frost protection, and what to expect after planting! We will also discuss soil amendment and how to prepare your garden soil for a successful year. All proceeds from this workshop will be donated to local non-profit Growing Gardens (www.growing-gardens.org) whose mission is to build healthy and equitable communities through the experience of growing food. Growing Gardens has been doing amazing garden work in backyards, schools, and correctional facilities since 1996. We hope you will consider making a generous donation within your means to support this amazing local organization!
