‘Grow Your Own Greens’

Educators from Ohio State University Extension in Mahoning County will host a hands-on gardening workshop designed to help participants grow fresh, healthy food at home. The “Grow Your Own Greens: Salad Table Workshop” will be held Saturday, March 28 at 9:30 a.m. at the OSU Extension Mahoning County office, located at 490 S. Broad St., Canfield.

This interactive workshop will teach participants how to grow leafy greens and other edible plants in a compact, raised gardening system known as a salad table. Salad tables are ideal for patios, small yards, and gardeners looking for an accessible way to grow fresh produce.

During the program, participants will assemble their own salad table using a pre-fabricated kit and learn what vegetables and herbs grow best in this system. Extension educators will also provide guidance on planting, caring for, and harvesting greens throughout the growing season so participants can enjoy fresh ingredients right at home.

The $40 workshop fee includes a salad table kit and seeds to help participants get started. Growing media or soil is not included.

Space is limited. Participants must register by March 20, and pre-payment is required.

To register or learn more, call 330-533-5538.
