SUMMARY:Spray Safe\, Spray Well/Rocía Con Cuidado\, Rocía Bien
DESCRIPTION:Join Cornell Cooperative Extension for this free eight-part\, bilingual\, winter workshop series focused on the basics of when and how to use OMRI-listed pesticides on your vegetables farm. Participants in Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture will also have the opportunity to receive individual on-farm follow-up support from the project team in the spring and summer of 2022. \nBeginning and organic farmers are often disinterested in discussing pesticide use on the farm. However\, investing time in improving your spray programs and equipment can help you to spray more safely\, more effectively\, and less often. \nLos agricultores principiantes y de vegetales orgánicos suelen no tener mucho interés en hablar del uso de pesticidas en el rancho. Sin embargo\, invertir tiempo en mejorar sus programas y maquinaria de rociar le puede ayudar a rociar de forma más segura\, más eficaz\, y a rociar menos en general. Acompáñenos en esta serie de ocho talleres bilingües este invierno enfocados en los aspectos básicos de cuándo y cómo utilizar los pesticidas orgánicos listados en el OMRI en su rancho. Participantes en el este de Nueva York también tendrán la oportunidad de recibir apoyo individual en su rancho de nuestro equipo en la primavera y el verano de 2022.

SUMMARY:Virtual Gardening Series 2022 presented by NHS of New Haven
DESCRIPTION:Are you or a loved one a gardener who can’t wait for the ground to thaw? Prepare for Spring with NHS New Haven’s 6-class organic vegetable gardening series taught by Advanced Certified Master Gardener Rachel Ziesk! All classes are virtual and take place on Saturdays from 10:00am to 12:00pm. \nFor many New Haven residents\, food security is elusive. We like to do our part in helping neighbors grow fresh\, healthy organic produce\, in soil that’s been tested for lead and other contaminants. That’s why every year we offer this series for free to New Haven community gardeners\, and we offer a help-a-neighbor rate for those who would like to help us make additional scholarships available. \nFebruary 12: Soils and Composting – The most important component for a successful garden is soil health. Learn how to make your own compost and everything else you need to keep your soil healthy for the most productive garden. \nFebruary 19: Garden Planning & Season Extenders – Ensure a long and productive growing year with row covers\, organic mulch\, cold frames and more! Get the most out of even a small garden space. \nFebruary 26: Cool Weather Crops – Start your garden as soon as the soil thaws\, even in mid-March! This class covers how and when to plant cool weather crops and manage their pests and diseases. \nMarch 5: Warm Weather Crops – Learn how to make the best of our growing season including which warm weather crops are best started indoors\, which can be direct seeded\, what conditions and fertilizers each crop prefers and how to fight their pests and diseases organically. \nMarch 12: Seed Starting – Start your own seedlings! Learn about when to start indoor seedlings\, watering\, using lights\, and dealing with common problems. We will also review which crops can be planted directly outdoors and when. \nMarch 19: Essential Flowers & Herbs for Vegetable Gardens – Flowers and herbs attract pollinators and beneficial insects to help keep your garden healthy and productive. Learn about the best flowers and herbs for your garden\, how to plant them and the conditions they need to help you in your garden.

SUMMARY:Online: Ecotypes\, Ecoregions + Ecological Restoration: Fortifying The Living Seed Bank
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Ecotype Project has created a model for native plants material development utilizing the ecoregional framework to ensure we are- planting the right plants in the right place. The truly local seed supply chain begins with trained botanists that wild-collect ecotypic seed\, which is grown out as a specialty crop by organic farmers in founder plots\, then cleaned and made commercially available to our nursery partners & by our farmer-led seed collective: Eco59. \nThe initiative’s intention is to repair local seed sheds to collectively re-wild the fragmented landscapes- by fortifying the living seed banks- the soils\, of our shared ecological corridors. \nCost: $25 \nClick here to register for this online presentation \n  \nAbout Sefra Alexandra \nThe Seed Huntress – is an endurance race ethnobotanist on a hunt to preserve the biodiversity of our wild and cultivated lands through seed conservation. Sefra leads – The Ecotype Project – to amplify the amount of truly local native seed available for ecological restoration\, creating the first ecoregional seed supply chain in the Northeast\, USA. In 2020 she began BOATanical.org where she guides expeditions that are paddlin’ for the pollinators\, planting native plants by boat along riparian corridors. Sefra holds her M.A.T. in agroecological education from Cornell University\, is a fellow of the Global Crop Diversity Trust\, a WINGS WorldQuest expedition flag carrier\, member of the Explorers Club and runs a wilderness skill school-The Readiness Collective- with her twin brother.
