First Day of Spring Hands-on Workshop in the Grow City Teaching Garden

Tuesday, March 19 will be the First Day of Spring and the first Hands-on-Workshop-in-the-Garden at the Grow City Teaching Garden, for 2024! Come anytime between 6:00 pm Eastern to dark to learn while helping with garden work. We will be planting early spring crops such as potatoes, peas, onions, carrots, radishes and lettuce, among other activities. Learn the how and why of what's going on in the Grow City garden and plans for the 2024 gardening season, then apply what you learn to your own garden. Welcome Spring by helping to get things started! The Grow City Teaching Garden, located behind the McGrady-Brockman House (614 N. 7th St., Vincennes) is a place to learn how to grow a garden and develop healthy soil, especially in small, urban spaces. It is a partnership between the Knox County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Knox County Public Library, Purdue Extension Knox County, and Vincennes University, with involvement from the Knox County Seed Library, the Guardians of the Garden Master Gardeners, and the Natural Gardeners Club.
