Spring 2017 Series: Protected Culture Growing includes the use of greenhouses, high tunnels, low tunnels, hoop houses, and caterpillar tunnels. Both high and low tech options are designed to help defend your crops against the extremes of nature from torrential rains, parching drought, scorching heat, and frigid cold. Protected Culture Growing extends your seasons, brings harvests earlier in spring and later in fall to your customers, and can be used on acres of open field to urban raised bed gardens. Engage in hands-on workshops that take you from construction to production targeting key topics for your growing success.
