Fall-Season Fruits & Vegetables: What to Start, Plant, Harvest

July 25 | 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Looft Hall at Iowa Western

Council Bluffs Campus - Cost:$30


Fall gardening is one of the most overlooked opportunities for productive growing. In this class, you’ll learn how to transition your garden from summer into a highly productive fall system. We’ll cover which crops thrive in cooling temperatures—such as leafy greens, root vegetables, and brassicas—and how to time plantings for continuous harvests before and after the first frost. You’ll also learn techniques for season extension, including row covers, low tunnels, and strategic planting windows. Whether you’re looking to get a second harvest from your space or maximize production late into the year, this class will give you a clear and actionable plan.
