LIBERTY, NY — Microgreens are young, nutritious seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs that are harvested and eaten in less than 14 days. A workshop titled “Growing Microgreens at Home” will be offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC) on Thursday, February 19. It will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at CCESC’s Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Rd.

Participants will learn to grow microgreens indoors, at home, or at work. These tasty treats can be enjoyed fresh all year in salads, soups, shakes and sandwiches. Research studies show that microgreens can have nearly 40 times more nutrients than healthy alternatives like broccoli.

All supplies will be provided to start a love of growing microgreens. The cost is $30 per person or $27 for CCESC enrollees. Anyone can enroll for an annual fee of $25 per household. Space is limited, and pre-registration with payment is required in advance. Seats are only guaranteed with payment. Call 845/292-6180 or email srb46@cornell.edu. Payment can be made online at www.sullivancce.org.
