Join UMaine Extension and our community partners for a series of three workshops for urban gardeners and farmers. Held at different sites in Portland, these sessions will focus on practices that help growers increase their resilience in an urban setting. Participants may join us for as many sessions as they are able; please note that each workshop REQUIRES a separate registration.
To Register: Extending the Growing Season
Summer won’t last forever, but our gardens can continue feeding us deep into the fall. Join Cooperative Extension and Cultivating Community for this final session of the Urban Growers Summer Series, and learn strategies for successfully extending the growing season. Participants will learn about the species that thrive in the cooler days of fall, how to plan and time your fall plantings, and techniques for protecting plants from the cold and wind. This workshop will prepare you to harvest well after the first frost!
