About this Event
Join local gardener Jenn from Space Coast Harvest for a Florida-specific seminar all about three favorite cool-season crops: strawberries, bulbing onions, and garlic!
These crops can grow beautifully in Florida, but getting the timing and planting material right makes all the difference. We'll cover how Florida's mild winters change the way we grow each crop, what to plant, when to plant it, and how to care for your plants through harvest.
