FREE: Garden Winterization and Garlic Planting (SOUTH TABOR DEMO GARDEN)
About this Event
👋*** Location Note***: We are in the process of transitioning from our North Portland Demo Garden space to our new space in South Tabor. From August-October 2026 we will be teaching workshops in both locations. Be sure to confirm the address and location of the workshop you have signed up for!
Our gardens have been working hard to produce for us all through the summer and it's time to give them a rest!
Come to this hands-on workshop at our Demonstration Garden and learn about the steps you should take to winterize your vegetable garden and protect your soil during the cold wet months ahead. And while it's too late for planting vegetable starts or seeds for a harvest this year, it's the perfect time for planting garlic bulbs that will be harvestable in early summer next year!
During this workshop we will discuss:
- Which crops should be removed/left in the garden for Fall
- How to use straw mulch to protect your soil from compaction/erosion during winter weather
- The benefits and drawbacks of using cover crops in your home garden
- Different types of garlic and how to plant them for a successful harvest
- What to do in late winter to prepare your soil for spring planting
Everyone who attends the garden winterization workshop will leave with their own garlic for planting at home!
All classes at the Demonstration Garden are FREE and All Are Welcome!
If you have the means to add a donation, your contribution will go directly to local non-profits dedicated to supporting home vegetable gardeners, food access and food security in our community.
