Oak Hill and The Martha Berry Museum will offer a “How-To” vegetable gardening workshop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 24. Instructors will be Kristin McNully and Heather Miller, horticulturalists for Oak Hill. Registration is $20 and includes a boxed lunch from HoneyBaked Ham, afternoon refreshments and a gift bag. In 1943, during the height of World War II, Eleanor Roosevelt encouraged American families to grow a “Victory Garden” in their backyards. The food from these many small vegetable gardens accounted for 40 percent of the nation’s produce that year. It helped feed a hungry population and conserve valuable resources. This workshop will provide the information needed for participants to start a vegetable garden of their own in a backyard or on a patio or terrace. Topics will include site location, soil preparation and indoor seeding as well as arrangement of the garden, maintenance and harvest. The workshop will begin with a morning lecture and conclude with afternoon planting. Contact Patrice Shannon at 706-368-6775 for more details.
