The first session of our Garden Workshop has begun for six Greenville community members. The no-cost workshop consists of four sessions over the span of two weeks. Community members are given time inside the Shi Center for Sustainability to learn more about gardening followed by time in the Furman Farm. The time in the Furman Farm allows community members to learn hands on how an organic garden is managed. Bruce Adams, the Furman Farm Manager, led the first class on planting tips for home gardeners. He covered a wide array of topics, such as soil composition, pesticides, and crop rotation. Many community members were engaged and active in asking questions about applying this useful information to their own personal gardens. Are you interested in getting plugged into our next Organic Gardening Workshop? Contact Rebecca Hurley at Rebecca.Hurley@furman.edu.
