Where there's a will, there's a way (to grow greens)! Green Plate Special's PNW Winter Gardening Tips zine contains information on how to keep your garden happy and continue to grow food in the cold. It was a collaborative effort between our garden coordinator Annie (who wrote the content and illustrated pages 1, 2, and 4) and program educator Anya (who illustrated pages 3, 5, and 6). Paper copies are available at our front gate and in our kitchen, if you'd like to grab a couple!
