The Bennett Farm produces flowers for entrepreneurial training as well as sale through a few different wholesale and direct-market channels. Topics will include variety selection and timing; field support techniques such as staking and netting; harvest tips; post-harvest handling and crop rotation to ensure you have a plentiful abundance of blooms (and greenery!) all season long.

Make a small bouquet at the end of the workshop to take home with you! Workshop is rain or shine and will only be cancelled in severe weather – check the Eventbrite site for updates. Refreshments provided. On-site parking is available. Park near basketball court and you walk up the court to farm entrance.

**Workshop will be on-site! We will be socially distanced during the workshop. Masks required.

This workshop organized as part of a collaboration with Food Moxie and Ruth Bennett Community Farm.

Ruth Bennett Community Farm, a project managed by the Chester Housing Authority, is a two-acre educational farm and environmental education center located at the Ruth Bennett Homes in Chester, PA. In addition to growing cut-flowers, we are dedicated to improving access to nutrient-dense foods at affordable prices to residents in Chester. We also provide opportunities for youth and adults to participate in health and wellness activities, job-readiness and beginning farmer training. We seek to promote a thriving and diverse ecosystem for community members to enjoy.
