It’s that time of year again. Fall gardening season is upon us!
Remember ‘fall’ gardening = Planting in August to early September and harvesting in September to usually about late October. In KC, we need to plant our ‘fall’ gardens at this time to give cool season crops a chance to do their thing before temps get too cold.
To make planning out your school garden a cinch, use our handy dandy Fall Planting Planning Sheet. This year, we recommend planting no later than September 9th.

And if you’re a new coordinator, we’ll see you at our ‘Planting and Planning your Schoolyard Gardens’ workshop offered on August 14th or August 17th both from 9am-12pm! Please RSVP to the invite in your inbox.
Happy Fall Gardening!
