Calling all gardeners! The Student Farm and the Lemont Barn are teaming up to host a Tools and Techniques home gardening workshop on Sunday, June 25 from 2 pm – 4pm at the Student Farm at Penn State, located at the intersection of Big Hollow and Fox Hollow roads.

All members of the community are invited to the workshop for a hands-on experience working in the field and the opportunity to learn more about home gardening techniques and tools. Leslie Pillen, Student Farm coordinator and Brian Kinney, co-owner of the Lemont Barn, will lead hands-on discussions about gardening tools and practices. Topics will include drip irrigation methods, tools for weed management, potato hilling and tomato trellising demonstrations. Your gardening questions are welcome as well. 

Guests are reminded to wear sturdy shoes and bring water and sunscreen. In case of inclement weather, check the Student Farm’s Facebook page for updates regarding the workshop. We hope to see you there!
