The New Victory Garden: Soils & Nutrition

Victory gardens were prevalent in WW II. Today there is new interest in recreating the “Victory Garden” to reduce food transportation miles, rising food costs, and to encourage sustainability by eating local organically-grown food in season. This is the fifth in a series of 10 individual workshops being held by Kittery Adult Education that will help you get prepared to start your own backyard or community “New Victory” garden.

Soils & Nutrition: A good gardener is a steward of the soil. Before planting, learn the basics of how to do a soil test, what does the label on the fertilizer bag means and what plants need in terms of fertilizer and soil amendments. Rae Avery is a Master Gardener who has studied landscape design and has a degree in plant biology. She has been the head gardener at Arrow’s Restaurant for the past 6 years. Course Fee: $8, $10 Nonresident.
