Hop Growing 101: An Introduction for Everyone, Including Non-Gardeners

The goal of this seminar is to demystify hop growing and give participants the knowledge and confidence to grow their own. While there is a lot of information online about growing hops, it is scattered. The seminar will offer one-stop-shopping for anyone contemplating growing hops. This talk is suitable for those who have never grown hops and may not even have any gardening experience. We will cover the entire growing process, from site selection and soil preparation through drying and storage, including options for apartment dwellers, variety selection and how to tell when the hops are ready to harvest.
