Bedford 2020 VegOut!

Bedford 2020, Bedford Garden Club and Mt. Kisco Elementary School co-sponsored an event called VegOut. It took place at the Mt. Kisco Elementary School Community garden on Saturday, April 6, 2013. This was a hands-on event that featured a series of mini-workshops and enabled one-on-one conversations with local experts on vegetable gardening. The event was designed to provide an opportunity for beginners to seasoned growers to improve their gardening skills.

Early spring is the time to get yourself organized on what you need to know to tackle questions about designing, building and maintaining a garden, composting, health and nutrition benefits, pests, problems and diseases. It also encourages those interested to get involved in a local community garden such as CSA’s or similar community gardens.
