Sustainable Gardening

It's been a few years, but we feel this is the perfect time to bring you an updated version of our Gardening class.

The subjects of this class include:

 

  • Garden site selection
  • Deep soil preparation
  • Growing from seeds and plant cuttings
  • High calorie crops
  • Pest prevention and much more!
