Get hands-on experience in how to extend your growing season with a "City Growing Intensive" work and learn day at Angelic Organics Learning Center's Chicago urban farmstead at First Presbyterian Church.

We'll start with a brief overview of year round growing, factors to consider, and the steps you need to take to get a year round harvest. Then you'll have a chance to work along Learning Center staff to build a low tunnel (a small passive solar greenhouse) from scratch over fall planted beds. The day may also include fall garden activities such as seed saving, compost building, and greenhouse cleanup.

Please come ready to get dirty and work outdoors in any weather. If you prefer to work using gloves, please bring your own. Cordless drills also welcome!
