Completion of first Garden Workshop

Today marked the inaugural graduation of our first Garden Workshop participants. The folks from the Greenville community learned about all types of helpful gardening tips. The two week series included information on watering, composting, soil composition, crop rotation, pruning, weeding, helpful resources, harvesting, worm-compost, planning, planting, and much much more. Everyone was able to get some hands on experience in the Furman Farm and see how things like composting function at the farm. They also helped volunteer with Tori Hedden, the assistant farm manager, in the garden. We hope that the participants left educated and inspired to work in their own gardens at home. Our second round of Gardening Workshops has already begun with community members from Scott Towers in Downtown Greenville. Their first session concluded with many participants picking flowers and vegetables to take home with them.
