Subject: Growing Your Own Food
Thinking of growing a spring garden? Chatham County Center of Cooperative Extension will offer an introduction to food gardening including fruits and vegetables. This program will be a repeat of a program offered last fall. It will cover the basics of garden site requirements, plant needs, soil preparation, variety selection, planting times, and harvesting.
In addition the class will cover some of the fruit crops that are easy to grow and likely to produce an abundance of fruit for the summer breakfast table or desert selection. Significant among these fruits will be the berry crops.
The program will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday March 4 and will be in the Auditorium, lower level of the Agriculture Building, 45 South Street, Pittsboro, NC. Please see Map of Main County Office Complex at http://www.chathamnc.org/Index.aspx?page=796 for specific location. Please call Chatham County Center at 919.542.8202 to pre-register to guarantee availability of printed materials. There is no charge.
