Join Niki in the garden to learn about garden planning, seed starting, garden bed preparation, and more.

• Discuss how the garden was built, the different bed types and other features that help our annual plants grow.

• Learn about bed preparation, soil, compost, and building a raised bed vs. planting directly in the soil. We will discuss a variety of methods such as no-till/low till, modified hugelkultur, strategies for pest control, and more.

• Discuss seed starting for indoor plants, and how to determine what to start indoors vs. outdoors. We will transplant some indoor started plants to their beds, and direct seed some new veggies. We will discuss plant spacing, sequential planting, and bed rotation strategies.

Niki and Tom have been growing and preserving seasonal vegetables for 8 years in their 2000 sq ft garden. We are excited to share our knowledge with others.

This is part of a garden series. The garden will be raw dirt and mud during this session. Please join us for our other sessions to observe the full growth cycle of the garden.

A suggested donation of $20 can be paid at the class. Kids under 12 are free. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Rain Date April 19th, same time.
