(Atlantic) The Cass County Grow Another Row Committee is hosting a free event at Mollett Park on Tuesday, April 29th, at 5:30 p.m. Cass County Extension Director Kate Olson says “Spring into Growing” is a chance for local residents to learn about spring gardening in small spaces. Participants can plant greens and herbs in pots to keep on their porches or patios. This free educational gardening event will help participants learn how to grow, care for, and harvest early-season plants to enjoy this spring.
Audio PlayerOlson says participants are welcome to bring their pots; otherwise, pots can be provided. The Grow Another Row Committee will provide seeds and soil. Extra pots will be available if needed, and attendees can also plant an additional pot to donate to the local food pantry.
Audio PlayerOlson says they will plant lettuce, spinach, and herbs, including basil, oregano, cilantro, and dill. Bring your gloves and diggers if you have them, or they will have extras.
Mollett Park is located at 1020 3rd Street Place, Atlantic, Iowa. All ages are welcome. Due to local sponsorships, attendance is free. A “Seed” mix (trail mix) snack and a water cooler will be provided.
If you are interested in attending, registration is strongly encouraged by Monday, April 28. This will ensure that there is enough supplies.
