Grow and Gather Family Gardening Program

About this event

Learn how to plant seedlings, directly sow, weed, prune, companion plant, harvest vegetables, dry herbs, and more with Queens County Farm Museum’s in-house Botanist and biology expert, Tess Fleming. Our compost experts and STEM Coordinator will also be onsite for several of these fully outdoor, hands-on, family and friends gardening sessions. All sessions take place in our six Teaching Gardens where we plant and harvest tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, a wide variety of lettuces, kale, broccoli, zucchini, summer squash, sunflowers, strawberries, onions, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, green beans, snap peas, cucamelons, radishes, carrots, watermelon, a large assortment of herbs and spices, and much more!  Tastings and recipes are available during some of the sessions.
