Green Spaces Alliance of South Texas knows about gardening. Our Community Gardens Program is now working with 25 groups to create community gardens in the city of San Antonio (21 have broken ground). In an effort to share our wealth of information resources, Green Spaces will host six gardening work(ing)shops throughout 2010. In these aptly named “work(ing)shops,” participants will learn by combining knowledge from the classroom with outdoor experiences.
The work(ing)shops will be held at local community gardens. Green Spaces has invited experts, community members and volunteers to share theory and then the application of regionally appropriate gardening techniques. A different topic will be addressed at each meeting. Lessons learned can be applied to community gardens or private backyard landscapes.
The first work(ing)shop will introduce the concept of installing drip irrigation. Laura Rogers, Master Gardener and community leader in water conservation, will make the presentation. Additional Master Gardeners will assist attendees with installation technique. Participants will come away with enough information to install their own drip irrigation system.
There is no charge to attend these workshops. Green Spaces requests that all participants bring regionally appropriate vegetable seed donations. These will be distributed to the hosting community garden as well as other community gardens in the area. For more information on community gardens, please visit click here.
