Would you like to have a fall garden?

Our extended growing season allows us to take advantage of three seasons of vegetable gardening. With this in mind, the city of Alpharetta and the Alpharetta Natural Resources Commission are hosting a workshop at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26.

The workshop will take place at the Alpharetta Public Works Department, which is located at 1790 Hembree Road in Alpharetta.

If you already have a garden, this workshop could help you can extend its productivity. If you are just beginning, you can learn how to get started without working in the heat of summer.

Autumn’s mild temperatures create perfect growing conditions for cool-season crops; such as, lettuce and spinach.

This free class, conducted by the UGA / Fulton County Cooperative Extension and the North Fulton Master Gardeners, will cover: summer vs. fall season crops, sustainable gardening techniques, direct seeding and transplanting, frost protection, and preparing the garden for winter.

You can register by calling (678) 297-6200.
