LIBERTY, NY — Micro-greens are young, nutritious seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs that are harvested and eaten in less than 14 days. A workshop on growing micro-greens at home will be offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC) on Thursday, October 23 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Participants can join CCESC Master Gardener volunteer Jackie Saunders at the Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center, 64 Ferndale-Loomis Rd.
Research studies show that micro-greens offer 40 times more nutrients than broccoli. Saunders will teach the class how to grow micro-greens at home or work as nutritional “powerhouses” that can be enjoyed all year in salads, soups and sandwiches.
All supplies will be provided to start a love of growing micro-greens. Space is limited so pre-registration with non-refundable payment of $30 is required by October 16. Registration and more information can be obtained by calling 845/292-6180 or emailing Susan Dollard, CCESC Master Gardener Coordinator, at smd243@cornell.edu.
