Grow Your Own is back in action- Virtually speaking. Grow Your Own will host a virtual workshop about square foot gardening on June 6 from 1:30 - 2:30 pm. This gardening technique helps you get the most out of small spaces such as raised beds. The workshop will include watching a short how-to video followed by a Q&A conversation with group leaders Michael Gray and Carol Fairbank. Anyone who attends the workshop will have a chance at a raffle prize: the book, Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. 

To register for the workshop please email or call LauraLee Sweeney, director of the Hardwick Area Food Pantry, at director@hardwickareafoodpantry.org  at (802) 472-5940. Workshops are free but registration is required by June 3 at 5 p.m. Video conferencing and call-in information will be made available upon registration. The Grow Your Own team is happy to help anyone who has not used a video chat program by talking it through ahead of time.
