Planning a garden next spring? Join Convivium Farm manager AJ to learn the ins and outs of seed catalogs!
About this Event

Now that the ground is frozen, the tools are all put away, and the gardens are all put to bed... It’s time to cozy up next to the fire with a cup of tea, a giant pile of seed catalogs, and start dreaming of next season! During this Lunch & Learn, our Farm Manager AJ will share his seed catalog tips and tricks: What to look for in a seed catalog, how to interpret different catalogs to get the most out of them, the various ways catalogs are organized, and hear all about his personal favorites.

For participants planning to order food to eat during the presentation, please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes ahead to place your order at the coffeeshop counter. Your lunch will then be brought to you in the Learning Center to enjoy while you learn!

Registration is appreciated but not required for this free program.
