CREATING THE YEAR-ROUND GARDEN 
A workshop for green thumbs and greenhorns

WILL BE OFFERED AT THE MERCY CENTRE
IN ST. JOHN'S BEGINNING IN APRIL, 2025! 
 
This full-day workshop will help you create a year-round garden so you can raise and harvest food all year long, by combining raised beds with protective structures like cloches, cold frames, tunnels, row covers and greenhouses, and by carefully selecting the varieties you plant.
 
By selecting seeds adapted to our climate, starting different crops in succession,
building up rich organic  soil and protecting your plants,
you can harvest food all through the year, even in the middle of winter.
 
Led by home gardener Dan Rubin of Perfectly Perennial Herbs and Seeds,
our workshops demonstrate raised bed construction and
show you basic steps to create your own four-season garden.
Over the past twelve years, more than 2000 people have attended these sessions.
 
Learn about plant selection, seed starting, soil enrichment,
intensive planting and how to build protective structures to extend your growing season. Sessions include group discussion, slide show, seed starting, raised bed construction
and printed handout, plus a home cooked lunch. Seeds and soil for seed starting
are included in the workshop fee.
