Get your garden ready for the colder months with ecological strategies for overwintering and season extension! Join ecological designers, Lucy Smith, and Nate Fournier, of Reimagine Roots for a knowledge-rich workshop that will guide you through the key practices for closing out your garden in a way that nurtures soil life, protects your plants, and sets the stage for a strong spring.
Together, we'll explore how to harvest fall crops at peak quality, extend your growing season with strategic planting and protection techniques, and 'put the garden to bed' using regenerative methods. You'll leave with tools, tips and inspiration to carry your garden, and its ecosystem, through winter and into abundance next year.
This program incorporate both indoor and outdoor learning. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.
