Join us at Garden Dreams Urban Farm & Nursery where Outreach Manager, Bob Madden, will lead this workshop on Preparing for Fall and Winter Gardening. Learn about the exciting possibilities of cold season harvest! We will discuss how to prepare, plant, manage, harvest, and extend the harvest of a variety of hardy vegetables.

His experience includes training with San Joaquin Outdoor School, Growing Power’s Commercial Urban Agriculture program, and the Rhizome Collective’s Urban Sustainability Training.
