Year Round Harvest Workshop

Sunday, January 19th, 2014
10 sessions. One Sunday per month (Jan - Oct 2014). 1:15 pm to 5:15 pm

The mild winters of Coastal British Columbia make it possible to grow and harvest vegetables all year around.

The benefits of growing your own food are many: the knowledge that sound and sustainable gardening practices were followed; summer gardens are economical and winter gardens even more so and learning how to provide protection from deeper cold will expand the range of what can be grown; the variety of vegetables and fruit available to the urban gardener is enormous; flavour and quality that would never be found in a supermarket; the sense of accomplishment that comes from self-sufficiency. No matter how large or how small your garden is, you will learn how to make the most of it.

In 10 sessions, Linda Gilkeson will cover from seeds to harvest for large and small urban gardens.
