Smith-Gilbert Gardens Fall Veggie Plot Series Registration Opens

Registration opens on August 1 for the Fall Veggie Plot Series at Smith-Gilbert Gardens. Inside the Gardens’ newest addition, the Gather ‘n Grow Garden, four foot square raised beds called Veggie Plots are set aside for families and individuals for planting.  A $150 fee will include the Veggie Plot, participation in a series of 10 educational classes on sustainable and responsible vegetable gardening, and access to the Gardens from September through November.  The classes will start the first week of September and continue through mid-November. Gardeners can choose to attend classes on Tuesday evenings (5-7 pm) or Saturday mornings (8-10 am).  Topics will include “Putting Seeds to Bed”, “Wicked Weeds”, “Pests and Protection”, and end with a Harvest Feast. Participants are welcome to work their ‘plantation’ during regular SGG operating hours.  Additionally, the Garden will be open until 8 pm on Tuesdays. Spaces are limited, so registration is on a “first pay, first re-served” basis.
