Ready, Set, Grow! Gardening for Everyone (May)

Ready, Set, Grow!
Gardening for Everyone

This series is designed to get your home garden up and running, growing vegetables, herbs and flowers for a variety of spaces, environments and skill level. The curriculum is split into five sessions and is timed to coincide with the main gardening seasons and their associated tasks. Feel free to sign up for individual sessions or the whole series. No prior gardening experience is required - we will break into groups according to experience for part of each class to address questions at all levels. Each class will include presentation, discussion, hands-on gardening work, and Q&A.

Instructor: Brian Rogan is a former biology teacher and an avid gardener with over forty years of experience.

Garden Structures and Planting

2:00-4:00PM

Just before the farm's Seedling Sale, we'll focus on crop planning, picking the right plants for your garden and how to make sure that they thrive with the right physical and nutrient support. Participants will get their hands dirty with a project in the farm's learning garden as we focus on SOIL and help each participant leave feeling confident to start planting at home!
