Susan Lafferty and I attended this workshop for school and community gardens. This was a great hands on workshop to learn how to assess or plan a garden site. We learned about soil types, how to plot out your garden to harvest vegetables at a certain time and square foot gardening techniques. The garden was located at Sacramento Food Food Bank on Third Avenue and the second day of training was held at Sierra 2 Center for the Arts & Community Sacramento. Hosted by the California Department of Public Health, Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Branch and Training Development and Support Section we would like to thank the great instructors at this event.
We plan to use the information we learned at this workshop at serveral of the gardens in Kings County. TheUCCE Master Gardener program had many handouts that were simple and easy to use. If you are interested in finding out more about what your UCCE Master Gardeners Program has to offer, contact your county UCCE county office.
