Retirement today means a new life chapter that you get to write. Are you confident in your plan?
In this webinar, industry professionals will discuss what it means to truly live well in retirement today, the pandemic’s impact on retirement, and they will also dive deep into each of the four pillars – health, family, purpose and finances – and share how those can help you make a comprehensive plan for your retirement.

Warm Season Vegetable Gardening
Zoom Online Workshop
Sat. April 24, 2021
10 – 11 am, plus Q & A
With Lisa Wagner
A vegetable garden can be a lovely addition to home landscapes by attention to design and plant selection, even incorporating edibles into landscape beds. In late spring and summer, warm season vegetables and herbs bring on a different character to the vegetable garden than the leafy greens of early spring cool season plantings, from the attractive fruits of eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes to the twining vines of beans.
Many of our favorite vegetables require warm weather to grow and develop fruit – tomatoes, peppers, squash, and beans are just a few summer favorites.
Early May is the perfect time in our region to start putting in warm-season transplants and sow seeds of heat-loving crops like beans, squash, and cucumbers.
Join Lisa Wagner to learn about soil and light requirements, choosing vegetable varieties, planting intensively, doing succession cropping, growing in containers, and enjoying and preserving the harvest. The virtual Zoom program will also include a Q & A period.
Free, but must RSVP.

YEAR-ROUND VEGETABLE GARDENING
With Lisa Wagner
A small-scale, carefully managed vegetable garden can be a lovely (as well as tasty) addition to home landscapes, by attention to design and plant selection. In the temperate climate of Western North Carolina, vegetables can be grown or harvested year-round by selecting the right vegetables and varieties.
In spring and fall, cool-season vegetables such as greens and leeks create a pleasing tapestry of greens, punctuated by perennial herbs and edible flowers. In late spring and summer, warm season vegetables and herbs add their own character, from the attractive fruits of eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes to the twining vines of beans. Using winter-hardy varieties and simple season extension techniques. winter harvest of greens, lettuces, herbs, and other cool season vegetables extend the growing season.
