Greenhouse Relief

Daylight saving is just a week away. Spring arrives in two weeks. Hmm, what to do with all of that additional light available other than simply soaking it up and restoring your levels of Vitamin D?

How about building a solar greenhouse. No excuses, either, about not knowing how.

On Tuesday, March 8, the Farm Institute begins a five-week solar greenhouse workshop. From soup to nuts, or rather from frame to roof, they’ll help you create a cozy dwelling to begin sprouting your crops.

The workshop is cosponsored by ACEMV and will run on successive Tuesdays through April 5 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. There will also be two Saturday workshops on March 12 and 19 both from 9 to 1:30 a.m.

The cost for the seven class series is $135. For more details and to register, call 508-627-7007 or visit farminstitute.org.
