A cold frame can be a gardener’s best friend. Their uses include extending the seasons to grow plants before and after frosts and hardening off young seedlings, plus propagating and overwintering plants, all without the expense of a greenhouse.

This March 13. Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum class will explore the different types of cold frames and their uses, plus we’ll share a simple construction design that will be great in your home. Cold frames can be a wonderful way to discover the joy of growing plants. The session runs from 10 – 11 and is led by Gail Read and Joe Verstandig.
