The arrival of local sweet corn in the summer is an event many look forward to. Why not grow your own for even more freshness and variety? This workshop will explore selecting varieties, determining where and how to plant and maintain a healthy crop and how to address pests and problems. As a bonus, we’ll also discuss growing and processing “dry” corn for cornmeal, flour and popcorn. Weather permitting we’ll have a hands-on planting opportunity.

Presenter: Will Lowenthal is a Extension Master Gardener Volunteer with extensive knowledge of various vegetable gardening practices.

Cost:

$10 for NH Audubon members/Extension Master Gardeners

$15 for non-members

Registration Required by: June 5
