About this Event

It’s not too late to plant for fall. Kristie from Vermijo Roots will show you which crops thrive in cooler weather and how to get them started. You’ll also get a simple introduction to preserving your harvest by freezing, drying, or canning—no stress, no perfection needed.

You’ll leave with fall seeds and a clear guide to making the most of your harvest all season long.

This workshop is free and includes all materials. Donations are welcome but never expected. Families are welcome to attend.
