In cooperation with VINES, you can easily add 2 weeks to the start and end of the growing season by the use of low tunnels, frost blankets with supports. Construct you own 4 ft. low tunnel hoops and learn tips and techniques from Master Gardener Volunteers at Cutler Botanic Garden. Hoop material, ½ inch EMT, will be provided. Please dress for the weather and bring a pair of garden gloves. Each hoop is 4 ft. wide, 4 ft. tall. Class size is limited so pre-registration is required. This workshop is FREE and open to the public. A suggested donation of $5-$10 is appreciated.
