Early Spring Harvests and More Planting (Adult)
Sunday, June 11, 2017, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
At instructors' home in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania. Directions given in registration materials.
$16 Regular Price; $12 Friends of the Nature Center
Paid reservations required.
Limited enrollment.

You’ll plant major crops and sample various greens and berries.

The first crops of the year should harvestable by this date. Sure, there’s lettuce, but have you ever tried Minutina? Or Mizuna? Sorrel? Wrinkled Crinkled Cress? Or Osaka Purple mustard? Everyone knows strawberries, but how about Honeyberries? Weather and groundhogs willing, you’ll sample these and other early harvests. This is also the time to plant heat-loving, frost-sensitive crops such as tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplants, and melons. You’ll learn how to use plastic mulch to help keep these tender veggies’ roots warm.

This is the second in a series of five hands-on gardening classes offered by organic gardeners Scott and Pam Stoleson. This hands-on, taste-buds-on workshop will take place at the Stoleson’s home in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania. Driving directions will be emailed to registrants on the Thursday before the workshop.

Sign up for one or more of these informative and tasty workshops. Future workshops: July 16 – Maintaining Your Garden, August 20 – Late Summer Harvests, and October 1 – Fall Harvests and Putting Your Garden to Bed.

Scott and Pam Stoleson have been raising some of their own food for over 15 years using organic gardening techniques. They estimate that they produce 85% of the vegetables, 50% of the fruit, and 10% of the nuts that they consume.
