Growing Baby Lettuce

Goose Cove Gardens is one of Gloucester’s best treasures, a garden nursery with the healthiest plants and the nicest Karma.  Barbara, the lovely straw-hatted owner, is always protecting me from myself: “Do you really need five new Russian Sage, Heather?”

Ever the educators, Barbara and the ladies from Goose Cove Gardens are offering a midwinter course in growing one’s own micro greens.  Don’t we all want a little pile of fluffy, nutrient-packed baby lettuces this time of year?

Their workshop will be held on Sunday, February 28, from 1-3pm at Goose Cove Garden headquarters. For the small sum of $30 ($35 after February 15), you can learn from some true masters. Email gcgarden@verizon.net or call 978-281-7816 to sign up.
