Digital Program: Building the Tomato Trellis System

Join us with Craig Floyd, Farm Manager at Coogan Farm of the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center, for an online class all about tomato growing and trellising. Maximize your tomato plants’ potential by learning the secrets of building a tomato trellis system with optimum spacing for maximum yield. In this class, we will cover how trellising will help boost production, quality, and make harvesting more ergonomic for you. The class is an hour and a half long with time for a question and answer session at the end. Don’t forget to check out our first ever Mystic & Noank Library seed library, available from March to October!
