The Communal Garden: Making the Most of Winter

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.

In the colder months, there’s plenty to do to prepare for your garden next spring. This is a great time to work on infrastructure, sowing cover crops, building up a good compost pile, and more. We will cover garden planning from end of year clean up, maintenance, all the way through thinking through next year’s plantings and starting those seeds! You’ll leave prepared with a list of garden tasks to keep you busy all winter long.
