August in the Vegetable Garden with Jenia Jolley

August 18 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

August in Zone 7 is a balancing act for gardeners. In this timely onsite workshop, participants will learn how to navigate late-summer challenges, from intense heat and periods of drought to heavy rains and a changing climate.

The class will explore practical strategies for keeping summer crops productive while preparing the garden for a second season of harvest. Learn how to time and plant cool-season vegetables for fall and gain tips for extending productivity and finishing the growing season strong!
