Esoterra Culinary Garden & Cool Boulder: Farm Tour and No-Till Workshop
What: Join Cool Boulder and farmer/owner Mark DeRespinis for an informative, practical and tasty no till garden tour and workshop at Esoterra Culinary Garden! Participants will experience first-hand the workings of a no till market garden growing food for 25 area restaurants on under 2 acres of permanent in-ground garden beds. Soil improving techniques will be described and demonstrated. Materials and cultural practices, as well as growing strategies for food abundance will also be covered. This workshop will emphasize the ecological and nutritional benefits of no-till soil management from backyard garden to community farm scale.
Come prepared to be outdoors and on your feet for two hours. The workshop will feature hands-on learning, so please be ready to get a little dirty! We will provide coffee and snacks. Children are welcome to join in the fun!
Parking is onsite, but it is limited. Please carpool if that is a possibility for you.
