Urban Farming 101 *VIRTUAL* Workshop: Crop Planning

Join Battery Urban Farm for a webinar to help you plan how you'll make the most of your garden in the year ahead.  This webinar is designed for those newer to farming and gardening, but the information may prove useful to those with more experience as well. The content focuses on urban environments, but many of the concepts are applicable to gardens anywhere.

The Crop Planning webinar will help you to:

• Determine your planting zone
• Read and utilize a planting calendar
• Recognize the needs and growth habits of different plant families
• Assess your site and plan out crop spacing and rotation
• Reduce toxins in your garden through organic growing practices
• Find resources like seeds, plants, soil, and compost
• Create a network of support for your garden project
