Monadnock Food Co-op hosting ‘First Feast’ workshop

The Monadnock Food Co-op will host a free in-person workshop called "First Feast" Wednesday, Nov. 10, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The workshop presenter is Michele Chalice, regenerative environmental landscape designer and owner of healthyhomehabitats.com.

During this free workshop, attendees will learn about and plant deer-resistant spring-flowering bulbs as well as native, ephemeral plants that provide early nectar and pollen to native bumblebees. Participants can experiment with tools used to plant bulbs and tiny plant tubers, learn how to protect these plants, bulbs and tubers from squirrels and get growing tips. Masks are required for this in-person workshop.
