SUMMARY:Grow More Vegetables\, part 1\, February 17
DESCRIPTION:It’s back. Learn to pack a 21/2 X 5 foot raised bed with a huge amount of vegetables! It’s easy to multiply by 5 so this works for larger gardens too.

Snow date is the 24th\, same place and time. Cost is $15\, pay at the door\, and light refreshments will be served. Planting dates\, spacing\, interplanting and succession plantings will be addressed. Using information from the best national and local gardeners you’ll learn to apply these techniques to a single raised bed or a full-sized market garden. \nIn order to get the most out of the class\, please come with a sketch\, or even just the dimensions of your space. In addition\, think about the top 5 vegetables you’d like to grow. This “homework” will give you a head start when we break into groups and design gardens for maximum production.  Start planning for a successful garden now. The class is limited to 20 people. Please email Michelle Pridgen at independencefarmersmarket@gmail.com to register. \nThe next workshop which will cover pest and disease control\, irrigation and fertility will be held March 1st\, same location\, price\, and time.  Snow date for the 1st workshop is February 24\, March 9 for the second.

SUMMARY:Seed Library Open House April 13
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited to join us for an open house at the Wythe-Grayson Public Library Saturday April 13 from 12-2pm.  The library is the host for the seed library which got it’s start during the pandemic as seeds became expensive and in some cases hard to find.  The premise of the Seed Library is that folks “check out’ seeds for free\, and at the end of the  season bring some seeds back to keep the library stocked with open pollinated varieties that do well in our area. \nYou don’t have to bring seeds to enjoy the open house and you are welcome to take seeds to try.  We’ll have a brief class on saving seeds at 2pm and we’ll have handouts and other information.  Light refreshments will be served. \nThis event is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by GLC and the Library.
