By using pest control and pollination, and maximizing your garden space, you can grow a fruitful garden. In this program, the team from Fleet Farming will dive into Companion Planting, a planting technique that includes different crops planted in proximity to each other. This technique offers various ways to grow a healthy garden, including providing habitat for beneficial insects and increasing crop productivity. Fleet Farming is a non-profit program of IDEAS For Us. In this workshop, Florida growers learn the basics of companion planting, highlighting edible plant combinations for a thriving garden design.
This program is presented by Fleet Farming and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
