Learn what cover crops to plant in the fall as well as how to (and not to!) clean up your garden to prepare for winter. Saturday, October 1st from 10am – 11:30am Late Summer Plantings, Cover Crops & Composting Participants should meet at the picnic shelter at the Tommy Thomspon community garden, at the Intervale. This workshop takes place at the Co-op Victory Garden – a collectively-tended garden where shared access to land and resources, intensive growing techniques, and a mentorship program empower people to grow a lot of food on a small plot of land.

In addition to growing vegetables, she aspires to grow many medicinal plants to make herbal remedies, dye plants to keep busy with natural dye crafts over the winter, and enough cutting flowers to fill her house with fresh bouquets all season long. Carolina has been growing food for the past 15 years, for a decade on urban rooftops in Mexico City and now in community-based gardens in Vermont. This workshop is facilitated by Carolina Lukac, Garden Education Manager with the Vermont Garden Network. Learn about self-sowing annuals like calendula, culinary herb seeds like coriander, fermenting mucilaginous tomato seeds, and much more! We encourage attendees to bring seeds you may have already saved and are ready to swap with other growers. Where do your seeds come from? What seeds would you like to pass on to the next generation of growers? We will reflect on the beauty and abundance of seeds as we learn tips and techniques for seed saving in a small-scale garden.
