Planning your garden, like this flower and vegetable plot in Two Rivers, can help maximize the amount of food you grow.
Want to grow your own food this summer? Now is a great time to plan your garden, incorporating your goals for growing your own food in the space you have available.
In this free webinar, Heidi Rader, a professor with the University of 草榴社区 Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, will offer gardening advice.
Rader, who directs the 草榴社区 Tribes Extension Program, will discuss how to design and lay out your garden space, how to choose fruits and vegetables that will grow in your area and more.
She will share ways to optimize your growing space for maximum food production and how to choose what to grow in a small space. Rader will also discuss how to keep a garden journal to help you improve your garden next year and better tailor it to meet your family鈥檚 needs and goals.
The free statewide class will be held from noon-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26, via
Zoom. .
The webinar is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture鈥檚 Office of Partnerships
and Public Engagement.
