Hands-On Gardening Workshop

Loveland, OH 

Sunday, June 26, 2016
2-5 p.m.

Earth-Shares CSA's mission is to provide members with fresh, organic vegetables produced by their farmers. They distribute healthy food through their community supported agriculture (CSA) program, a self-serve produce stand, and at the Loveland Farmers Market. Earth-Shares CSA started 10 years ago and leases long-time certified organic land from Grailville Farm.

Join this workshop to learn about small-scale organic agriculture and see on-the-ground demonstrations. Gain insight into the organic label, which integrates cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Engage in hands-on activities, such as soil preparation with a broad fork, weeding with a wheel hoe, mulching tomatoes with a scythe, preparing irrigation systems, direct sowing and broadcast seeding, and observations of soil, plant health, cover crops, row cover, and insect habitats.

Cost and Registration: $10. Pre-registration required. To register, email Ken Stern at farmtrainingOH@gmail.com or call (513) 473-1860 by June 22.
