SUMMARY:Tomato Growing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:April Reeves is a long time farmer and gardener in both u
 rban and rural settings. April has owned 4 large “integrated” far
 ms in Alberta and BC that included: horses, vegetables, cut flowers, h
 ay crops, trees, Morel mushrooms, ginseng and soils. She now operates�
 �Carrot Creek Urban Farm in Richmond. Carrot Creek grows food for se
 veral other families, plus sells thousands of veggie plant starts in t
 he spring. The entire urban farm is set up to scale down or up. Carro
 t Creek’s mandate is to show budding urban farmers what works and w
 hat doesn’t. Various vegetable plants are grown for success  - and 
 failure. This allows the participant the opportunity to experience the
  pitfalls and problems associated with growing food, and reduces the l
 ong self-learning curve. Participants see first hand the results of po
 or management as well as good management. \nWe are happy to announce 
 our first workshop as part of our urban farming workshop series funded
  by Vancity! This workshop series is both for urban farmers - to hel
 p increase their sustainability as urban food businesses, and urban f
 armers - for members of their community!Think it's too late in the sea
 son to be learning about growing tomatoes? Think again! The timing cou
 ldn't be better. What a great time to see tomato plants in all their g
 lory! Join Urban Farmer April Reeves as she walks you through all st
 ages of tomato growing and also discusses infrastructure for growing t
 omatoes both outdoors and in a greenhouse. April will discuss starting
  tomatoes, soil and plant care throughout the season, and infrastructu
 re for growing tomatoes. The workshop will be held at April's home urb
 an farm, so you can all see the amazing infrastructure she is using!
 This workshop is for everyone: urban famers, home gardeners, community
  gardeners; heck, even rooftop and balcony gardeners!\nRegister: Even
