Join us from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. for a hands-on food preservation experience. Pressure Canning will be offered on July 27th and Dehydration on Aug. 24th. Each class requires a $15.00 registration fee which includes canning goodies and recipes.

Rain Garden Workshop

Do you have a low area on your lawn that always seems wet? If so, a rain garden is the perfect solution! Rain gardens are depressed areas in a landscape that capture runoff from a roof, driveway, or street and allow it to slowly soak into the ground reducing the effects of harmful pollutants. Additionally, rain gardens attract pollinators and songbirds, while providing shelter for other wildlife.

N.C. Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center will host a free Rain Garden workshop on Thursday, June 30, 2022, from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.
