Season-extension and winterizing strategies for the farm and garden

with Delisa Lewis!

  Monday September 21, 5-7pm


Course description:
  Celebrate the equinox at the UBC farm!  Get some experience and join the conversation on season extension and winterizing strategies for your small farm or garden.  We'll use on-farm examples of season extension to launch our discussion of topics ranging from cover crops, fabric row covers, mulching, composts, and regional variety selection for over-wintering.  With the cooperation of the farm team and favorable weather, we plan to take on a small scale, hands-on winterizing project out in the fields.


Date: Monday Sept 21, (5-7pm)

Cost: $20 (plus $1.65 cent registration fee)

Registration:
   Limited to 20 people.  **Please note that all UBC Farm Growing Season Workshops require advance payment.  Also,  our workshops sell out VERY quickly.  We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment.  There is great demand for our workshops, and unfortunately we can't accomodate everyone.
