Would you like to learn the most effective methods to ensure your garden is productive all season long? Deepen your garden knowledge by joining us for another session of our online Resilient Garden Series. Whether you are new to gardening or have many years of experience, there are always new things to learn about growing great food and healthy soil.  Experienced garden educator Christie Higginbottom will share her best tips and tricks for an efficient and productive vegetable garden. 

Are you wondering if a raised bed garden is the right choice for you? Join us for another event from our Resilient Garden Series. Raised beds/containers are a boon to anyone who can’t (or won’t) get down on the ground and can be placed anywhere, regardless of soil quality (or no soil at all) below the bed. However, a lot of raised beds don’t thrive and/or produce after their first year. There are “tricks” and specific information that you can use to make your raised beds and containers successfully produce great food wherever you have enough sunlight. ML Altobelli, an experienced gardener, landscaper and educator, will present how siting, water sources, carbon management, soil drenches and foliar sprays can all affect your results.

If you want to start your journey to having an abundant garden join us for the first event in our online Resilient Garden Series. Everyone can garden; if you have a window sill you can start tomorrow. We are excited to host several excellent gardeners for a panel discussion and conversation about designing gardens and where to start. Allison Houghton is a NOFA/Mass Soil Technical Advisor and will speak about selecting a garden site. Christie Higginbottom has taught many gardening workshops and will help us understand which crops fit best together. Ruth Green of Greens Arts Gardens in the Berkshires will introduce us to the world of beneficial insects.
