Hello neighbors!
Interested in starting a Victory Garden? Looking to expand your garden?
With more time at home, many people are spending more time in their gardens or are learning how to garden. Victory Gardens are a means to increasing food security and decreasing reliance on the industrial food system. Working the soil and gardening can help combat isolation, and provide a sense of physical and mental well-being. And with programs like "Plant an Extra Row," you can grow a little extra to donate to your local food shelf at a time when they're seeing steady increases in demand. But remember - success starts with the soil!
How to grow your own food at home: a primer from raised beds to lawn conversion
Join Mark Krawczyk and the Composting Association of Vermont for a free webinar on Thursday May 7, at 10am, to learn how to convert lawn to garden, nourish existing garden beds, establish raised beds, and plant in containers. There will be time for plenty of Q&A and we'll link to seed selection, gardening, and other resources.
This is part of a free webinar series that celebrates International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) and all the benefits of compost and composting in completing the food cycle and building healthy soil. See a full list and register for these free events at: https://www.compostingvermont.org/icaw-2020
