Back to School Gardens!

Join Hannah Traggis, Mass Hort's Seed to Table Educator, and get a jump start on your school garden! Topics for this hands-on workshop include: direct sowing and transplanting seedlings, selecting crops to plant in the fall, mulching, weeding, maintaining and using those crops, and season extension. You will get to practice all of these in the garden and learn to construct a simple and inexpensive season extending bed cover that will allow you and your students to enjoy your garden well into the late fall! A few curriculum ideas will also be discussed.

Take home several seedlings including lettuce, kale, spinach and more, that are ready to plant on the first day of school!
