Below are the slides for each presentation with a short description. The audio of the first two presentations will be available through our podcast in the coming weeks.

Gardening in a Warming Wisconsin
This last year shows us how challenging it is to grow in a warmer, drier Wisconsin. In this seminar, we will discuss ways to “future-proof” our food gardens for a changing and more variable climate.
Four-Season Gardening in Wisconsin
Let’s look at some ideas for growing year round in Wisconsin. These can be as simple as insulated covers for cold-hardy greens to in-ground greenhouses with passive and active heating. We will also discuss indoor growing as well. Here is the accompanying handout as well.
Vermicompost: Let the Worms do the Work
