  • Class: Start Your Fall and Winter Gardenn

    Date: June 24, 2023
    Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
    Location: Good Shepherd Center, 4649 Sunnyside Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103, USA
    Mid-summer is the perfect time to start planning your fall and winter garden so that you can keep eating fresh vegetables all year. For fall and winter harvests, it’s important to get seeds and starts in the garden early enough to allow them growth while the sun is still shining. A little planning and effort now will pay off deliciously during the dark days of winter!
