Extending the Season Webinar Resources

Presented to you by Vermont Community Garden Network, this webinar provides: tips from gardening expert Charlie Nardozzi on in-the-garden season extension techniques, inspiration on how to build and manage a community hoop house from Bethany Dunbar of Center for an Agricultural Economy and Hardwick Community Garden, and lessons from Olivia Brooks, Morgan Willis and Phyllis Arata-Meyers of Change the World Kids on how to start and run a root cellar.

Your webinar host is Libby Weiland, Statewide Network Coordinator for VCGN. Learn more about VCGN here. This webinar is a part of VCGN’s Grow It! trainings and networking opportunities for garden leaders—focused on how to support gardeners and manage gardens. The webinar and webinar viewing parties were made possible thanks to support from RiseVT, Hunger Mountain Co-op, and the Bay and Paul Foundations.
