Organic/High Tunnel Workshop

On April 22, the horticulture department organized a workshop focused on organic production of fruits and vegetables in high tunnels. Approximately 60 people, include county extension agents, farmers, and students, attended this workshop on the Horticulture farm in Watkinsville, GA. Below are links to the presentations that were given. These files are in PDF format and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat.

In the afternoon, participants toured the University of Georgia Organic Farm and Woodland Gardens, a USDA-certified organic farm just outside of Athens, GA. Click on the thumbnails below to see pictures of the tour.

We would like to thank Celia Barrs for giving the tour of Woodland Gardens, Robert Tate for giving the tour of the UGA organic farm, Griffin Greenhouse and Nursery Supplies for sponsoring the lunch, and the USDA – Integrated Organic Program for funding the research on high tunnel production of blueberries.
