"Making a Plan: Plotting and Organizing Your Medicinal Garden & Crops” with Denise Cusack

PLEASE JOIN US IN WELCOMING DENISE CUSACK ON September 21st, 2023 AT 5PM PT/6PM MT/7PM CT/8PM ET

Home to small scale herb growers, let’s talk about planning your garden and crops. Do you grow medicinal plants for your family, your practice, or your herbal business? This webinar will cover using tools to plan, organize, and manage your gardens. Get tips on how to organize and plan your space for growing medicinal herbs that are annuals, perennials, and multi-year root harvest medicinals. Denise will share  some of the tools she uses to layout the gardens, plan seed starting, organize seedlings and planting out, ongoing management and harvesting, and drying/storing and managing your inventory so you know what you have as well as saving seeds for next year.  While everyone has a different space and needs, we all can better use technology and tools to organize our processes, plan out what we need and can use in a year, and maximize the returns. Denise will also share a few downloadable sheets to help you plan your own gardens and crops.
