Ever wished you could harvest fresh veggies all year round? Let Earthwise Society show you how.
Earthwise Society is looking for volunteers to help with its winter harvest and other winter gardening activities at the Earthwise Farm.
From starting seeds for transplants to directly sowing winter crops like spinach, lettuce and oriental greens, growing a winter harvest is fun and educational and offers a great opportunity for volunteers to keep active during the winter months.
When the weather is bad, activities can move indoors to protected areas like the naturally heated hoop houses that provide temperate growing conditions year round.
Thanks to the microclimate of the Pacific Northwest coastal region, winter growing is easier than you might think. Under the direction of organic grower Charlotte Konken, winter harvest volunteers learn how to extend the growing season for their own gardens, while taking part in a community of local gardeners who are eager to learn and share their ideas with each other.
