Vegetable Gardening Workshop

In partnership with Wentworth-Douglass Hospital and Mass General Brigham, join us. During this workshop, attendees will learn principles and practices for successful vegetable gardening. Attendees will learn how to plan a garden to produce lots of high-quality vegetables, how to expend less energy on maintenance of the garden and how to use fewer chemical inputs. In addition, attendees will learn how to choose the ideal location, how to prepare the garden site, what and how much to grow, the timing of planting, as well as harvesting and storage of the vegetables.

Light refreshments will be served.

Master Gardener Jane Raymond has an undgraduate degree in chemistry and a master's degree in biology. She became a Master Gardener following a 45 year teaching career. She is a member of the Goffstown Conservation Commission. Gardening and forestry take a prominent role in her life as she manages a 100-acre wood lot and tends her home vegetable and flower gardens. When Jane and her husband James moved to Goffstown in 1982, they acquired a five-acre property that had been neglected. In the past 40 years, they have cleaned and improved the property, growing vegetables and flowers. The garden is designated as a Pollinator Habitat and their yard is registered with the National Wildlife Federation as Certified Wildlife Habitat.
