Allegany County: Gardening on a Budget
Gardening on a Budget
Many of us have dreams of a lush bountiful vegetable garden,
yet, starting a vegetable garden can seem like an expensive, time consuming
task. From exercise and meditation, to self-fulfillment, the benefits of
vegetable gardening go far beyond the produce that comes out of them. This
half-day program will focus on how to re-think vegetable gardening. It’s hard to
believe but you can grow 500 lbs. of veggies in 10 foot square. Learn what to
grow, how to plan for and maintain your garden while utilizing companion
planting.
There will be a plant/seed swap event after the lectures are
over, you do not have to bring plants to trade, but it is encouraged. This will
be a chance to trade vegetable plants you may have too many of, for others you
might want.
Gardening on a budget is directed to anyone interested in
creating a vegetable garden on a smaller budget with less time invested. New
and experienced gardeners welcome!
The workshop will be Saturday June 1, 2019 at the Cornell
Cooperative Extension of Allegany County located at 5435A County Road 48,
Belmont, NY from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
