Raised Bed Gardens - The Why and How

Are you interested in creating raised bed gardens but don’t know where to start? Join us for a two-part workshop, including an introduction to the benefits of raised bed gardens and an in-person hands-on session to build wooden raised bed gardens. You’ll go away with skills and knowledge about location, material selection, construction methods, and how to grow various plants in raised beds.

Presenters: Sean O’Brien, Home Horticulture Program Manager, UNH Extension and others

The Zoom session has no limits and is available for free.

The hands-on portion has a limited capacity of 20. Participation in the Introduction session is required in order to attend the hands-on portion. If you are not able to attend live, you may register and receive the recording to watch before the hands-on session.
