Description

Come plant asparagus and strawberries in the Giving Garden! Join us to learn about our no-till farming methods in the Giving Garden while establishing asparagus and strawberry beds to expand our perennial plantings. In this hands-on workshop we will discuss our methods for sheet mulching, sequestering carbon, increasing soil health and growing nutrient-dense produce while preparing and planting 6 beds of asparagus and strawberries. All Giving Garden produce is donated to our local partner food pantries and meal sites. This is an outdoor in-person event. Wear closed-toed shoes and clothes appropriate for garden work. Registration required. The base price for tickets is $10 per workshop. We encourage BIPOC participants, those experiencing economic hardship, and those from systemically marginalized communities to opt for a fee that works for you. And we encourage those who wish to help GFN increase our support for low income and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) gardeners to pay more than the base fee. Please opt for a fee that works for you and that fairly represents your ability to support our work. If you want to pay $0, please email [email protected] and we will register you.
