WENDELL —The Wendell Free Library plans to host two presentations on “Gardening for Climate.”
The first program, “An Introduction to Carbon Sequestration in the Home Garden,” is slated for Friday at 7 p.m. Caro Roszell, a Wendell CSA farmer and also Northeast Organic Farmers Association’s winter conference organizer, will give a PowerPoint presentation and speak on agriculture’s contribution, through tilling, to carbon in the atmosphere and what to do about it.
That presentation will be followed by another one scheduled for 7 p.m. on May 3. This will also include a PowerPoint presentation and a talk called “Cover Crops: NO Till for the Home Garden” by Sharon Gensler, a Wendell small-scale farmer and homesteading educator. This presentation will focus on cover cropping and other techniques for building garden fertility and keeping soil carbon in the soil.
These two workshops are designed to minimize content overlap, according to the library. Participants are welcome to attend one or both. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentations.
Both programs are free to the public thanks to the ongoing support of the Friends of the Wendell Free Library.
