Plant A Fall Garden Workshop

"That's right! It's not too late to start gardening. There are many vegetables and herbs that do well in cooler temperatures — kale, collards, spinach, lettuce, swiss chard, rosemary and cilantro, to name a few. There are also other advantages besides having fresh produce after the summer — fewer pests to contend with, less watering required, and much less work…guaranteed. Come plan and plant with us — and take home a few transplants for your own garden.
