Garden Closing for the Season

Happy Winter and see you in the Spring. 

Vegetable Field Day

Gardeners and farmers are invited to join Organic Seed Alliance on November 1 for a vegetable field day that includes tastings.  Participants will learn about the Northern Organic Vegetable Improvement Collaborative (NOVIC) – an exciting project that joins researchers and organic farmers in northern states to address seed and plant breeding needs – and evaluate carrot and beet variety trials at Nash’s Organic Produce, a participating farm.

The field day is free and open to the public and runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on November 1 at Nash’s Organic Produce, 1865 East Anderson Road in Sequim, WA.   Participants are encouraged to bring raincoats and boots.
