Garden Series: Season Extension & Cold Frames

Want to enjoy fresh veggies beyond the traditional growing season? Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring season extension techniques using cold frames and other simple tools. Learn how to protect your plants from frost, start your garden earlier in the spring, and keep it going well into the fall and winter. Perfect for home gardeners looking to make the most of their growing space year-round!

We will construct a simple cold frame of reclaimed and local material, and discuss sourcing and construction as well as ideal crops for season extension. This workshop is free, but registration is requested.
