Square Foot Gardening Demonstration

Square Foot Gardening Demonstration and Annual Garden Members Planting Day Saturday, May 21, 2022 @ 10:00 am Roosevelt Community Garden 59 East Fulton Avenue, Roosevelt, New York 11575 Sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension Nassau County and Led by Master Gardener Reese Michaels As the weather warms up and the ground defrosts, our garden beds and containers will be ready to be planted.  Join us in the Garden to learn the Square Foot Gardening method, which is a simple and versatile option to grow your own food using about 20% of the space of a conventional garden.  Reese Michaels will demonstrate how to layout and construct your garden to maximize production and minimize space, select and plant seeds and seedlings, all with virtually no weeding required! Afterward, Roosevelt Community Garden Members will be able to demonstrate this simple technique when they plant frost-tolerant seeds and seedlings in their plots. This event is free of charge, but advanced registration is required! Events are subject to change. Please check our website for updates.
