YardScaping Demonstration Site Workshop: Raised Beds
Tuesday, April 29th
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District | 35 Main Street, Windham, Maine
Are you looking to increase your food growing capabilities? Join us for a workshop covering the benefits of implementing raised beds at your home! A raised bed garden has soil that is positioned above ground level, typically in a box-like frame that is made of a food-safe material.
Attendees will learn information such as what types of materials to use when constructing a raised bed, differences in direct sowing vs. seedling transplants, how to interpret seed packet instructions, and tips on plant grouping, spacing, and placement in orientation to the sun! The instructor will also cover weed and pest control tips, how to perform soil testing, and recommendations on nutrient supplements.
This workshop will begin inside learning about the benefits of raised beds with the second half spent outside in our demonstration garden. Gardening tools and materials will be provided.
Bring your favorite pair of gardening gloves and prepare to get your hands dirty!
