Crabtree Farms will be offering its annual Community Garden Start-up Workshop on Saturday, Feb. 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m and Sunday, February 23 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The workshop will be held at the EPB Community Room. EPB is located at 10 West Martin Luther King Boulevard.
The workshop teaches the basics of community gardening – from site planning and building to fundraising, growing vegetables, and raising community support. This is the first year the workshop will take place over two days, with the second day involving a tour of existing Chattanooga area community gardens for participants. Participants will have the opportunity to get advice from Chattanooga’s experienced gardeners, see spring vegetable seedlings up close, and network with fellow gardeners.
The community garden tour will start at Crabtree Farms for a tool demonstration, then will take participants to the East Main Street Community Garden and other gardens in the area. Seasoned growers at each site will share advice and solutions from their years of experience with the participants.
Space is limited! For a registration form or more information, visit http://www.crabtreefarms.org.
