SUMMARY:Succession Planting
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE FOR REGISTRATION\nSuccession planting - followi
 ng one crop with another - is an important method for maximizing a gar
 den's yield and extending the harvest season. Gardeners and farmers in
  the Vancouver region can take advantage of succession planning to hel
 p maximize their harvest as well as extend the harvest period of their
  favorite crops. Creating a detailed succession plan eliminates the gu
 esswork of what and when to plant as the season progresses. Materials 
 and structures that allow for season extension should also be consider
 ed when planning for the season.\nDuring this workshop, we will overvi
 ew the advantages of succession planning and demonstrate the benefit o
 f well-planned crops. We will look at season extension structures and 
 techniques, and we will spend some time focusing on the ideal crops fo
 r our region. A period at the end of the workshop will be set aside to
  explore the individual scenarios applicable to the participants and s
 imulate planning of various growing models. UBC Farm also offers vario
 us examples of season extension that will be visited and explored thro
 ughout the workshop. This workshop is well suited for backyard gardene
 rs as well as small-scale farmers.\nLearning Goals: Overview of succes
 sion planting techniques\nCrop Planning Basics\nSeason extension techn
 iques & regional crop choices\nInstructor: \nMel Sylvestre has been a
