with Caglary Horicultural Society speaker Janet Melrose
Wednesday, April 16th | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Member: $10 | Non-Member: $10
Edible gardening not only provides food for the table, contributing to our food security. It also contributes to our mental wellbeing as well as providing gentle physical movement.
Having a small space is no barrier to a viable and productive edible garden!
In this workshop learn how we can grow edibles in small spaces-indoors under lights, on balconies or patios and perhaps at a community garden or another social gardening program. Also, the basics for edible gardening in containers-soil, what to grow, how to care for containers/planters and harvesting techniques. We will also talk about the inevitable barriers’ seniors have for gardening and how we can surmount them to enjoy edible gardening.
