Ready to heal your body while growing the food it craves?
How can you easily establish a garden that maximizes nutrition and enjoyment while minimizing labor and costs?
This class builds upon the earlier Planning and Design class, but that class is not a prerequisite. Gardeners of all experience levels are invited.
Topics
During this fun, information-packed class, you will learn how to…
- Start a new garden bed with minimal effort (and without a tiller) based upon soil conditions
- Rejuvenate an existing bed
- Prepare a new raised bed or container for planting
- Choose the best method to establish nutrient-dense plants: by seed or by purchase plant
- Properly care for newly established seeds and plants through the growing season
- Effectively keep weeds and undesired bugs at bay
All topics will be learned through hands-on activities: we will establish and directly seed a wide variety of nutrient-dense plants in the raised beds at the Edible Classroom: green,sulfurs and colors, as per the Wahls Protocol®.
You will come away with the knowledge, confidence and encouragement to establish a garden this spring that will produce an abundance of wellness throughout the growing season.
Please wear standard gardening attire for hands-on, outdoor learning: hat, gloves, jeans.
Yummy snacks and informational handouts will be provided.
