Topic: "Veggies! Succession Planting & Tips for Getting a Lot Out of a Small Space"
Learn how to live large in a small vegetable garden by learning how to maximize your space with strategic planting ideas, detailed succession planting plans, and tips for maximizing your space with inexpensive, easy trellises that allow you to take advantage of the vertical garden space. While the focus of this talk is on producing a lot of food in a small space, Willi will also offer suggestions for vegetable varieties that are flavorful and beautiful!
