Cold Frames and Season Extension Workshop

April 8, 2020


Join Harvest NY Specialist, Yolanda Gonzalez and Olivia Gamber from Staten Island Urby Farm on Wednesday April 8 at 5:30pm for a presentation on cold frames and season extension. We will hear from Olivia who has constructed her own cold frames and will be walking you step by step through the process. If there is time we hope to facilitate a discussion about the future of CRAFT and how it might best serve the needs of our urban farming community in these changing times.
