• Raising Winter Greens
Saturday, September 19, 2:30-4:00pm
Brett Grohsgal, Even Star Organic Farm explains how the winter garden is a
glorious thing. When blustery nights and frigid days are the rule, when real tomatoes seem years and continents away, when supermarket produce is at its worst, winter fields shine emerald with promise.
The home gardener often can weed, water, mulch, and nurture plants better than the hectic professional farmer with crops spread out over many wind-swept acres. City gardeners also have another major advantage: the urban expanse of concrete and asphalt acts as a heat sink, absorbing
sun in daylight and releasing warmth at night. Great greens are within your grasp! Come and learn what key things are needed for successful winter gardening.
Ages 16 to Adults. No RSVP required.

• GROWING FALL EDIBLES
As summer days shorten and temperatures drop, visions of lettuces, turnips, and spinach should be sprouting in vegetable gardeners heads and hopefully in their gardens. Cindy Brown, kitchen gardener guru, will share her gardening experiences, insights and recipes to provide encouragement to all who dare tackle another gardening season.
Cindy Brown, Assistant Director at Green Spring Gardens, started her gardening career in tandem with her passion for cooking. Her desire to have specialty herbs and vegetables led her to experiment with edibles and test the climatic limits of the mid-Atlantic region. Cindy is a regular contributor to Washi ngton Gardener magazine, appears on local TV and radio shows, and speaks frequently at various horticultural venues. She designs gardens with a mix of ornamentals and edibles for a gourmet garden that appeals to all your senses.

Those sound great I wish I had the chance to attend them, especially the one on raising winter greens. How did the two talks go?
ReplyDeleteBoth were very well attended and got rave reviews. I'd have either one back to talk anytime. People could not get enough.
