Local Organic Farmers to Lead Workshop

by Ari Herzog on April 10, 2009

The Massachusetts chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association presents their 2nd Annual Statewide Spring Organic Gardening Day on April 18, 2009.

The New Eden Collaborative of First Parish Church Organic Community Gardens is hosting a NOFA organic gardening workshop taught by Rita Wollmering and Brooke Finn, owners of The HERB FARMacy in Salisbury, where they grow vegetables and herbs.

The workshop will occur Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the organic community gardens behind the First Parish Church of Newbury, at 20 High Road.

Statewide, these workshops are all led by experienced gardening educators and intend to meet the tremendous resurgence of energy and action for backyard and community gardening. In addition to explaining and demonstrating some key steps that can empower to you start your own garden, the workshops provide a great opportunity for you to come forth with your questions about beginning the process of gardening.

The workshop costs $25, with a $5 late fee after April 11. It is possible to register on-site.
