Just Roots presents: “Plan. Build. Grow.” Workshop
This comprehensive garden planning, greenhouse construction and growing practices workshop will be held on two consecutive Sundays, March 23rd and March 30th, from 10am-4pm.

In this workshop you will learn how to create a garden plan including short and long-term fertility management, crop planning, and growing practices to increase plant resilience. Learn about low-cost, home-made greenhouses, high tunnels and low tunnels from construction to management. We will build both low tunnels and a 12′ x 20′ greenhouse (from scratch) during this two-day workshop. Various seed starting setups will be demonstrated for indoor or greenhouse growing. We will discuss cultural requirements of different crop families including germination temperatures, timing, fertility, and caring for your seedlings from seed to transplant. It is recommended that participants bring a recent soil test. Participants have the option of working with our seeds or bringing your own if you would like to plant something to take home. Participation in both classes is highly recommended.
