SUMMARY:Cultivating Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Dig deeper into various gardening topics!\nJoin us for Cultivating Conversations, a series of facilitated presentations, activities, and/or discussions about gardening topics led by local experienced gardeners.\nUpcoming Dates and Topics\nSaturday, May 9, 10:00 – 11:30 AM: Achieving Balance in Your Garden through Companion Planting\nWhy do some plants get along and others refuse to grow next to each other? Join Ecologist Beth Heckmann for a class exploring companion planting – a traditional practice of growing different plants together to provide support for each plant rather than conditions for competition.\nJust like us, plants rely on balance to thrive. When you introduce the right plants together you can spend less time pulling weeds, watering, and wondering why some seeds refuse to grow. Participants will design a planting plan for a raised bed or container with the right companions for them.\nThis class will also provide some examples of plants to avoid planting together so gardeners can set themselves up for success. All experience levels are welcome. After class, be sure to stop by the Plant Sale to get started on your plan!\n
