Grow fresh veggies and produce year round! Learn the science, art, and joy of winter gardening. Join Marisha and Neil in this workshop, where we present a practical approach to winter gardening based on our experience in both a cold, sunny high desert climate and the cool, cloudy Pacific Northwest. You’ll learn how to 1) select appropriate crops and integrate fall planting into your summer garden, 2) plan and locate your winter garden to get the most out of season extension technologies, 3) plant, manage, and harvest from your winter gardens, 4) select and implement a wide range of season extension technologies with various costs and benefits, and 5) build in added resilience against weather extremes.

Handouts will be provided by email before the class begins. Participants will receive a video recording of the class and a pdf of the slides after the class.

Facilitators Marisha Auerbach and Neil Bertrando have spent many years observing and interacting in their gardens and in their greater bioregions. They have been growing most of their own produce year round and preserving harvest abundance for the past decade.
