Operation: Lawn to Lunch
Imagine having a partner through every step of your first garden. That's what Operation: Lawn to Lunch is all about.
In addition to providing all of the seeds and transplants you will need, Nathan and Emily will provide weekly videos so you can follow along as we turn a 4x6 section of our lawn into lunch for our family's table right along side you. Videos will start with ground prep in the spring and include every step of the way from planting, weeding, harvesting and finally putting the garden to 'sleep' for the winter so you are set up for success again the next year. Amongst other things, videos will assist with plant ID in the spring when it's tough to tell the weeds from the veggies, help to identify when produce is ready for harvest, and give ideas for how to prepare and serve your harvest. Videos will be available via a private Facebook group. The group will also be a place to ask questions and share the journey from Lawn to Lunch with Emily, Nathan and your fellow Lawn to Lunch gardeners.
Plants, seeds, a planting calendar and information on subjects like mulch and compost will be distributed at 2 dates and in 2 locations*.
April: 29: 4-4:30pm at the Danish Windmill parking lot in Elk Horn & 5-5:30pm at the Atlantic City Park
May: 20 4-4:30pm at the Danish Windmill parking lot in Elk Horn & 5-5:30pm at the Atlantic City Park
*You will need to pick up both times as the first pick up will be for cool season crops that need planted earlier and the 2nd date will be to pick up warm season transplants like tomatoes and peppers. Alternative pick up times can be arranged at our farm located 3 miles East of Elk Horn.
