The Communal Garden: Cover Crops

Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.

Build healthier soil and stronger plants all year long! In this class, we’ll explore how to use cover crops through every season to boost soil fertility, manage weeds, and support pollinators. You’ll learn how to choose the right species for different times of year and how to incorporate them into your garden plan. We’ll also cover all of the essentials for starting seeds at home so you can grow with confidence from seed to harvest. Perfect for gardeners of all experience levels who want to make the most of every season.
