Planting to preserve: Gardening with food preservation in mind

Posted By Staff On August 19, 2009 @ 5:00 am In News | No Comments

From press release

University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener Connie Austin will conduct a program to provide instruction and guidance on how to create and maintain a vegetable garden with the intention of canning and freezing the produce you grow.

The program will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 15, at the U of I Extension Office in Winnebago County, 1925 S. Meridian Road, Rockford.

August is a great time to plant cool season crops. There is still time this summer to grow a beautiful garden and preserve your garden’s produce to enjoy through the winter.

Cost of the program is $10. Register by calling (815) 986-4357 or online at www.extension.uiuc.edu/winnebago.
