The Demonstration Vegetable Garden at URI's East Farm campus will host an open house on August 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine

This 5,000-sq.-ft. garden is operated by URI Master Gardeners who are always trying out new techniques. The free open house will feature workshops on growing, composting, drip irrigation, and other subjects pertaining to successful vegetable growing.

In addition there will be free pH soil testing (to determine if your soil is acid or alkaline), a demonstration on water conservation and cooking demonstration by two professional chefs.

East Farm is on Route 108, 1/2 mile south of the main traffic light in Kingston. More details about the program will be posted closer to the date.
