“The workshop provides something for
everyone,” said Zanetta Augustine, Assistant Agricultural Specialist at the SU
Ag Center and the workshop’s organizer. “If you already have a garden, you will
learn how to stretch your production. If you are just beginning, this workshop
will teach you how to get started,” she added.
“Autumn’s cool temperatures create the
perfect growing environment for cold-season crops; such as lettuce, kale, and
spinach. The Southern University Ag Center is inviting the Baton Rouge community
to our Fall Garden Workshop and learn how to prepare a Fall garden,” expressed
Augustine.
The Southern University Ag Center, its
Wisteria Alliance Program and the Sustainable Agriculture Research and
Education (SARE) Program are co-sponsoring this event.
