SUMMARY:Square-Foot Gardening Workshop
DESCRIPTION: In this workshop\, the Backyard Growers team will introduce you to the Square-Foot Gardening Method\, which helps gardeners make the most of limited growing space to grow the most food possible for a household. We’ll show you how to do this by using gridded square feet instead of rows. \n You’ll work with us to create your own custom vegetable garden plan for the season. \n Tickets are free for Backyard Growers Program Gardeners (e.g. those who grow food with us in our Community Garden\, Backyard Garden\, or GrowBag Garden Programs.) \n General admission tickets are $20. Proceeds from general admissions tickets to our spring gardening workshops are essential to support our work throughout the year connecting communities with equitable access to the resources\, knowledge\, and space to grow their own food. \nIf you are a SNAP EBT\, WIC\, or ConnectorCare cardholder\, you are eligible for a 50% discount on General Admission to our workshops\, thanks to Massachusetts Card to Culture. Please use the following discount codes:\nSNAP EBT cardholders should use the code MCCEBT.\nWIC cardholders should use the code MCCWIC.\nConnectorCare cardholders should use MCCCC.
