Unearthing Vegetable Gardening Secrets
Embrace an enchanting vegetable gardening workshop experience this Saturday, June 17, at Huron County Nature Center, where you will discover the art of planning, planting, and growing a prolific vegetable garden. At this insightful program titled “Grow Great Veggies,” gardening guru Bevin Cohen will impart wisdom from several decades of growing experiences. His comprehensive workshop includes illuminating tips on maintaining soil health, effective seed starting, successful transplanting, strategic mulching, and weeding and discerning the optimal harvesting time for your exquisite produce.
Learning by Doing
The practical part of the workshop promises to be equally exciting as attendees will have the hands-on opportunity to transplant a seedling which they can then carry home and nurture in their garden. This experience seeks to translate the theoretical knowledge gained into practical gardening skills.
Bountiful Extras Get the inside dirt, Michigan!
Cohen is the noted author of Grow Great Vegetables Michigan (Grow Great Vegetables State-By-State), the ultimate guide to growing food in the Great Lakes State! This must-have guide to growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs provides you with insider advice on climate zones, average frost dates, and growing season details. Information includes details on sun, soil, fertilizer, mulch, water, and the best varieties for your region. A garden planning section helps with design and crop rotation; monthly lists explain what to do from January through December. In-depth profiles of the state’s best edibles help ensure a can’t-miss harvest.
In addition to the experiential learning, each participant will be gifted a packet of heirloom seeds from Bevin’s Small House Farms.
