Don’t put away your gardening tools when summer ends—some of the best harvests of the year are just beginning! Join Galveston County Master Gardeners John Mitchiner and Wendy Oalmann for Path to the Plate – Cool Season Veggies, an informative workshop designed to help gardeners take advantage of the Gulf Coast’s productive fall growing season. Discover why fall is often considered the ideal time for growing vegetables and learn how to set the stage for a successful harvest.
