The growing season is coming to an end as the days grow shorter and the temperatures get colder. Join us on Saturday October 8th from 10-11am at the Brown Street Park Community Garden (224 Brown Street) for a workshop titled “Beginning Organic Grower Series III: Putting Gardens to Bed.” The workshop, taught by SCLT’s Leo Pollock and Little City Growers’s Adam Graffunder, will teach gardeners how to transition their gardens for the fall and winter seasons.
Topics covered will include season extension, learning about mulch and cover crop (to maintain soil fertility over the winter) and how to cultivate garlic. The workshop will be offered in Spanish the following morning, October 9th from 10-11am at the Templot Community Garden on 40 Appleton Street in Olneyville. The Spanish translated workshop will be taught by Jairo Rosales, the Templot Community Garden leader.
The Beginning Organic Grower Series is a three-part workshop curriculum to teach and support people in the city on how to grow organic food. Southside Community Land Trust will continue to offer the series for the 2012 Plant Providence Calendar. For a complete list of workshops and updated information, visit www.plantprovidence.org.
