From K-State Research and News: OLATHE, Kan. – A series of workshops designed for anyone growing fruits and vegetables for sale or for the serious home gardener will be held in several locations in the Kansas City area, starting in late February.
Topics ranging from tomato grafting to irrigation methods to weed, pest and disease management and others will be covered. More information is available at Growing Growers.
“The workshops are open to the public and are appropriate for anyone interested in growing,” said Kansas State University horticulturist Cary Rivard. “We offer a range of workshops covering ‘Market Farming 101’ topics, plus a few more advanced topics. Participants typically include Growing Growers apprentices, new or experienced growers and others who are interested in the particular topic or who are considering trying to farm.”
The workshops are hosted by Growing Growers – Kansas City, a collaborative effort of K-State Research and Extension, University of Missouri Extension, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension, the Kansas Rural Center, the Kansas City Food Circle and Cultivate Kansas City.
