The arrival of local sweet corn in the summer is an event many look forward to. Why not grow your own for even more freshness and variety? This in-person workshop will explore selecting varieties, determining where and how to plant and maintain a healthy crop and how to address pests and problems. As a bonus, we’ll also discuss growing and processing “dry” corn for cornmeal, flour and popcorn.
The workshop will take place primarily indoors, rain or shine. Weather permitting we’ll have a hands-on planting opportunity in the gardens directly behind the center. Dress for a short walk over grassy, flat, but uneven terrain.
Presenter: Will Lowenthal is a Extension Master Gardener Volunteer with extensive knowledge of various vegetable gardening practices.
