Workshop Description:

Join us to get practical advice on harvesting and enjoying your Cannabis at home. Whether you call it hemp or marijuana, enjoy THC and/or CBD, these are incredibly useful plants that you can enjoy throughout the summer and into harvest. Join experts Emily Gogol and Penny Barthel to learn practical advice on harvesting Cannabis from your garden. This workshop will cover what to do as the plants develop over summer, when and how to use the vegetative parts (e.g. green smoothies), and how to have a successful and fun harvest. Emily and Penny are here to answer your questions with sound advice based on years of gardening experience and will bring a variety of ‘show and tell’ items to demonstrate how to successfully grow and enjoy at home.
