Ventura workshop covers bean and squash cultivation

Beans and squash have been cultivated in North America for centuries, and a Ventura workshop will share secrets for growing these crops successfully in the home garden.

The Master Gardeners of Ventura County have scheduled a presentation that will help area home horticulturalists grow vegetables in their garden. The session runs for one hour, and while advance registration will be appreciated, walk-ins are welcome.

The activity will introduce techniques for growing summer squash varieties such as zucchinis and patty pans, and both bush pole and runner bean cultivars will be in the discussion as well. Proper spacing and the importance of providing a trellis or other support will be reviewed, and natural pest control methods are also on the agenda. Tips for storing the harvest will be shared, and everyone will go home with recipes they can prepare in their own kitchen.

Many people have become interested in living a more sustainable lifestyle in recent times, and taking a seat in a gardening workshop can help them get started. Copies of handouts, pre-printed seed packets, and other plant-themed Promotional Products for an activity can be prepared by Print shops.

The Ventura Library Branch located at 606 North Ventura Avenue will be welcoming this presentation by a Master Gardener on Wednesday, March 12. It will start at 4:00 pm, and anyone who has questions can forward them to mgventura@ucdavis.edu.
