Cut Flower Crop Support with Reusable Metal Cages
(Pre-registration required at least 24 hours in advance to participate in the event)
Learn how to make reusable metal cages for cut flower crop support. Cages will help you grow long, straight stems necessary for mixed bouquets and design work. Reusable cages take some investment to build up front, but they quickly pay off. You will save countless hours in labor and frustration (dealing with pounding posts, tangled one-use plastic netting, and a toppled, unusable bed of flowers). This workshop will demonstrate the step-by-step process we use at RBCF to build our cages. Plus, you’ll leave with a cage to experiment with in your growing space.
Please note: This workshop will take place outdoors. We have a heated greenhouse to warm up in, but please check the weather and dress accordingly!
