Square Foot Gardening- Winter Planning

Kim Roman is a Square Foot GardeningTM Certified Instructor mentored by well-known author and creator of the SFG method, Mel Bartholomew. Her seminar, “Winter Planning,” will help you make the most of your small-space vegetable/herb garden. She’ll show you how to organize your seed packets for quick and easy planting; how to start gardening earlier in the season and end later in the year; and how to protect your garden from pests, critters and the weather.

This event is for those who are new to gardening, those who swear that they might have a brown thumb, and those who are gardening pros.
