How-To: Kitchen Gard
How-To: Kitchen Gardens in Small Spaces with Kiera Faulkner Jekos
Outside

Saturday, Jun. 8, 10-11:30am
Tailored for beginners! Learn to grow fresh veggies and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies in even the smallest of outdoor spaces. We will discuss how to plan, build, plant, tend, and harvest from your kitchen garden throughout the year. Let's challenge the notion of Memorial to Labor Day vegetable gardens as we chat about seasonal growing. Now is the perfect time to start. Weather permitting, we will take a walk through the Rhinebeck Community Garden.
