As things start to cool off, join TG as we explore ways in which to extend your growing season even more! Learn about the benefits of using a cold frame in your garden, growing a winter greens crop, and starting your seeds early next spring! Go home with a small cold frame that you will learn how to build yourself! We will also be covering (no pun intended) the use of cloches and various other types of simple cold frames. PLEASE EMAIL learn@tricyclegardens.org to register.
Instructors: Danny Finney & Allison Mesnard

What’s the Deal on Vermiculture?
We know by now that worms are a gardener’s best friend, but if you want to heat this relationship up a bit, this is the workshop for you! Learn about using worm bins inside your home for small scale composting! Make a vermiculture bin to take home and put your worms to work- or, make several and give them away as the perfect gift for those who have everything- because worm poop IS awesome. ($ 15 if no bin required, $30 if bin required)
