Extend your season by using COLD FRAMES, TUNNELS and HOOP HOUSES. We'll build a light, easy-to-set up cloche which is effective in hardening off seedlings and provides heat to get some crops off to an early start. Todays harvest and samplings will be RADISHES and AURGULA. Wednesday April 1st or Saturday April 4.
Planning and installing your IRRIGATION can be challenging. We'll demonstrate layout and different types of systems available
for easy care, talk about the watering needs of different plants and ways you can conserve water. PEAS will be our feature vegetable.
We'll pass on some cultural tips and favorite varieties. Wednesday April 8th or Saturday April 11th.
In this class we will take a trip to our woods and explore a little FOREST ECOLOGY. Our guest speaker will acquaint us with
his passion-MUSHROOMS. Wednesday April 15th or Saturday 18th.
Pack more food into your landscape by installing an EDIBLE BORDER. Learn about the many plants that not only look good,
but have the dual purpose of being edible, handsome Lacinato kale for example. We'll try some traditional and new RHUBARB
recipes in this workshop. Wednesday April 22nd or Saturday April 25th.
All of the April workshops are held at our demonstration site at Haliburton Farm.
Wednesday class times are 5-7PM and Saturdays 2-4PM.
