SUMMARY:No-Till Gardening: An Easier Way to Grow
DESCRIPTION:No-till gardening (also known as no-dig gardening) is built on four key principles: \n\nsoil armor (keeping soil covered)\,\nminimizing disturbance\,\nplant diversity\, and\nmaintaining living roots.\n\nBy prioritizing soil biology over mechanical turning\, this efficient approach reduces labor\, decreases the need for weeding and watering\, builds long-term fertility\, and creates a more resilient garden ecosystem\, capturing carbon in the soil rather than releasing it as CO2. Join Master Gardener Fern Campbell as she describes the principles and benefits of no-till gardening and how you can apply them to your own garden and landscapes. \nThis event is free and open to all. Registration will open soon.

SUMMARY:'Turn Your Garbage to Gold\,' an Outdoor Workshop on Composting
DESCRIPTION:The next in our series of free outdoor workshops on composting will be held at the compost demonstration site in the Bread & Roses Gardens at Trinity Episcopal Church. We will showcase a range of techniques for turning household waste such as food scraps\, yard trimmings\, uncoated paper\, cardboard\, and sawdust into the ideal soil amendment for the yard and garden. We will also show how all households\, large and small\, can keep compostable waste out of landfills. When added to a landfill\, food scraps decompose anaerobically (without oxygen) and release methane\, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change. When composted\, food scraps contribute to healthy soil and plants and to cleaner water and air. \nRegister below to reserve your place in the class. Registration closes at 5 p.m. June 6 or when the workshop is full.

SUMMARY:Garden Basics: Herb Gardening—Discover the History and Magic of Culinary and Medicinal Herbs
DESCRIPTION:Growing an herb garden provides easy access to herbs that can be eaten fresh or stored for later use. We will explore the current culinary use of herbs\, as well as their historic use in medicine and cooking in Virginia. Participants will gain skills for planning and planting an herb garden in ground or in a container and learn how to harvest and dry. Participants will take home herbs to dry and make into a tea or spice mix. \nSpace is limited. Please register below to reserve your place in the class.
