Join for the next workshop in the Intervale Center's Garden Like a Farmer series with Vermont Garden Network to learn about different weeding strategies and how to identify common garden weeds, including those that are edible and medicinal.

Weeding the garden is important for making sure our desired crops thrive. It takes time and we have to do it, often cause us to ascribe evilness to the weeds in our garden. However, once you get to know them, the weeds may not be all bad. In this workshop we will focus on different weeding strategies, Identifying weed species that can be edible or medicinal, and overall getting to know the species of plants we consider weeds.
