Cold Frame Workshop!

SLV Local Foods Coalition and the Alamosa Community Gardens are offering a workshop on “How to Build a Cold Frame” on Saturday September 8th at 2pm at the Boyd Community Garden on 11^th and State Ave in Alamosa.  Local farmer and builder, Friend Darr, will be showing us how to build an unheated outdoor structure with a frame and a clear glass or plastic top that can be used to protect and acclimatize seedlings and plants. These structures can help to extend our short SLV growing season.  This workshop is a part of the Food Preservation Committee of the LFC and their efforts to address the challenges of eating locally year round in the SLV.  A fee of $6 will cover costs of materials (scholarships are available).
