Ambler Farm’s “Home Garden and Crop Planning Workshop” Now Open for Registration

The Friends of Ambler Farm is pleased to announce that Ambler Farm's Home Garden and Crop Planning Workshop is now open for registration to members only. Registration will open to non-members on March 6th, space permitting.

The Home Garden and Crop Planning Workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 22nd, 9:30 – 11:30am.

Do you ever wish your garden would yield the same beautiful produce that Farmer Jonathan Kirschner grows? It can! Now is the time to start planning your home garden. Jonathan, Ambler Farm’s Director of Agriculture, is offering this workshop to guide others to the most bountiful home garden. He will walk through the steps that he takes at Ambler Farm and how to adapt these processes to your own garden. Topics include: starting seedling, timing, spacing, basic soil nutrition + home composting and basic garden design. There will also be a walk to the Ambler Farm greenhouse and production garden to observe first-hand how Jonathan has been preparing for spring.

The cost is $25 per member; and $30 per non-member. Register Here.
