It's only mid-summer, but it's time to focus on fall harvests and winter storage crops. In this workshop, we will explore succession planting and get into the nitty gritty of scheduling your direct sowing and transplanting to make the most of the growing season. Factors such as diminishing daylight, pest life cycles, and cooler temperatures pose advantages and disadvantages for fall plantings. If you have been dreaming of sweet carrots, overwintered spinach, watermelon radishes, and easily growing cauliflower, then be sure to join us for this workshop!

This workshop is facilitated by Carolina Lukac, Garden Education Manager with the Vermont Garden Network. Carolina has been growing food for the past 15 years, for a decade on urban rooftops in Mexico City and now in community-based gardens in Vermont. In addition to growing vegetables, she aspires to grow many medicinal plants to make herbal remedies, dye plants to keep busy with natural dye crafts over the winter, and enough cutting flowers to fill her house with fresh bouquets all season long.

This workshop takes place at the Co-op Victory Garden - a collectively-tended garden where shared access to land and resources, intensive growing techniques, and a mentorship program empower people to grow a lot of food on a small plot of land. Participants should meet at the picnic shelter at the Tommy Thompson Community Garden in the Intervale.

Thanks to our season underwriters, City Market and Gardener’s Supply Company, for making events like these possible!
