As we come to the end of yet another summer, join the Cloud 9 team as we prepare the garden for the coming change in seasons. During the course of our workshop we’ll discuss a variety of tips and ideas to continue to get the most out of your outdoor plantings as we head into autumn. We’ll discuss vegetables that can do well or even thrive with shorter days and colder nights. We’ll examine a variety of season extension techniques to get the most out of your growing area. We will also cover some Do’s and Don’ts for preparing your growing area as we head into winter to ensure that you’ll be setting yourself up for some spring success!

Cloud 9 has been developing community-led food access and farming programs in Philadelphia since 2012. Their programs include a healing garden program at a residential addiction recovery program, a high school rooftop garden club, a food pantry for low-income seniors, a community garden for low-income seniors, and a farm-based internship program for youth and young adults. The Cloud 9 team helps to cultivate vegetables, herbs, and flowers within their multifaceted programs while teaching organic growing methods, DIY projects and product making, and the importance of sovereignty over our food system. Each program is developed and managed in partnership with the community it serves.
