Due to the popularity of this topic we have added another workshop which will
address the plants that can still be planted and harvested before the end of
the season (summer). Mounts’ Horticulturist, Mike Page will teach you how to
successfully grow your own vegetables, covering everything from seed to
germination to harvest. Tips and techniques will be shared on how to have a
productive garden and enjoy fresh chemical-free produce. All participants will
receive a vegetable seedling to take home.
