As the seasons begin to change, the City’s Department of Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment is offering a series of workshops at local community gardens designed to help gardeners prepare for the fall and winter seasons.
The workshops will cover a variety of topics, including cool weather vegetables, soil preparation, proper planting and spacing, companion planting, and addressing frequently asked questions from gardeners.
“Whether you’re looking to start a new garden or improve your existing one, these workshops are a great way to gain knowledge and get your garden ready for the cooler months ahead,” said Shawn Aylesworth, the City’s park maintenance manager.
There are four different classes available, each hosted at a different community garden around the city on a Saturday. Here are the dates and locations:
