How Can We Help?
Working in collaboration with WSU Extension, and several likeminded community members, Second Harvest has incorporated a series of gardening workshops through its Plant a Row program. The goal is to help community members become more efficient gardeners to produce more for the community. The workshops have an all-encompassing focus on year-round gardening.
Workshop Topics
- Growing Your Own Vegetables: comprehensive overview of gardening with a focus on planting from seed.
- Building an Alternative Greenhouse: homemade greenhouse alternatives that save you money.
- Fruit Tree Maintenance: focuses on proper pruning and spraying techniques for fruit tree owners.
- Composting: the ins and outs of composting 101.
- Vermiculture: a highly efficient alternative to standard composting that uses worms.
- Food Preservation: focuses on the how-to methods of water bath canning, pressure cooking, fermenting, dehydration, and freezing.
The Plant a Row workshops help:
- Enhancing the horticultural knowledge of those involved.
- Fostering community engagement.
- Getting community members excited to participate.
- Spreading the word about the program.
- Showing gratitude for all the hard work being put forth by those involved.
