Collapse ▲Sustainable Vegetable Gardening
Home vegetable gardening can provide your family with produce with exceptional freshness, flavor, and variety. Developing and practicing the science and skill of vegetable gardening may also save money and promote resilient families and communities.
Join Matt Jones (Extension Horticulture Agent) and the Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Chatham County for a lecture and hands-on workshop for home and community gardeners. Participants will learn the fundamental principles of growing vegetables, including site selection, site preparation, types of vegetable gardens, soils and soil fertility, understanding planting calendars, watering and irrigation, planting techniques, and recommendations for specific crops. Pest, disease, and weed management will emphasize organic practices. Following the lecture, Master Gardener Volunteers will lead hands-on demonstrations pertaining to irrigation, fertility management, and planting methods.
