Follow Elisabeth Cary’s journey as she has moved from avid home gardener to micro-flower farmer. In this workshop, held on April 13, from 10 a.m. to noon, participants will consider how to maintain a small and manageable garden while maximizing floral production. Elisabeth will share her planting scheme, germination schedules, horticultural sources, pest management, harvesting, and flower conditioning.  Some unique "give-aways" will be shared.

Elisabeth Cary, former director of education at Berkshire Botanical Garden for 18 years, is now micro-flower farming in the Southern Berkshires with lessons learned over the past 5 years that will be useful to interested gardeners.
