Upcoming Events

September 16th Soil Remediation Workshop

Join us Tuesday, Sept 16th 5:30-6:30pm at Ethan Allen Homestead VGN Teaching Garden for this free event!


After many years in production, our Thriving Gardens teaching garden was fallow this growing season to allow for a closer look at the health of the soil. Join us to hear about the process and soil test analysis and results while learning about cover crop and amendment techniques you can use in your own plot. Shout out to the City of Burlington for sponsoring us to conduct the research and offer this free public workshop. Nature-based climate solutions make for a stronger community!
