At this free, hands-on workshop, learn how to 1) make durable, roughly 190 ft² shade and greenhouse structures using cattle fence panels and other inexpensive materials, 2) how to effectively spread hay bales and seeds to add mulch and cover crops, and 3) how to use yard waste and wood chips to make garden paths that turn into beautiful soil! Afterwards, relax and connect with a free, grant-funded meal.
