Cool Season Vegetable Gardening
2025-08-14 09:30 - 11:30 | Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center, 1192 US-64 W, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Join Matt Jones, Extension Horticulture Agent and NC State Extension Master Gardener Volunteers of Chatham County, for a Cool Season Vegetable Gardening Workshop targeting home and community gardeners on how to grow cool-season vegetables. Participants will learn about planting techniques and timing, best varieties, common problems, and harvesting methods for broccoli, cabbage, carrots, kale, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes, and asparagus. Participants will also get a tour of the demonstration garden.
Vegetable crops are classified as either ‘warm-season’ or ‘cool-season’ according to their optimum planting time. Cool-season crops are generally planted in early fall to early spring because they do not tolerate the heat stress of the summer. However, cool-season crops vary in the specific horticultural practices needed for optimum production.
Classes occur Thu, Aug 14, 9:30am-11:30am in the Cooperative Extension wing of the Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center. Free parking is available at the venue.
