Join us for an informative walk to take a close look at late season pests, harvesting techniques, succession planting, pruning styles, weed management tips, and everything else that is happening in gardens in early August.  We will be sipping iced herbal tea, snacking on edible flowers, and answering questions as we meander through the garden.

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, at the Intervale.
