Make Your Own Garden Row-Cover
Friday, March 13, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Members $25 w Non-members $33
Learn how to extend your garden season with floating
row-covers. Have you seen the PVC and fabric covers in our
display vegetable beds at DCH? And winter greens still growing
under them long after other crops are finished? DCH staff will
show you how to make your own row-cover to take home.
These inexpensive covers will help you grow vegetables March
through November. Lightweight frames support lighttransmitting,
insulating fabric. Also serves as an insect barrier.
Supported in part by the Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust.
Space is limited. Please pre-register by February 24.
Make Your Own Rain Barrel
Friday, April 17, 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.
Members $20 w Non-members $27
Rain barrels connected to your gutter downspouts are doubly
good for the environment: save water for the garden and reduce
overflow in our storm drain systems. DCH has joined with
Delaware Nature Society to offer this workshop using garbage
cans and readily available accessory parts.
Participants must bring their own garbage can (new or used) or
order one through DCH. A 32-40 gallon Rubbermaid® bin is
ideal.
