How to start growing your own vegetables using natural methods

We offer this workshop for beginning gardeners as an introduction to growing vegetables organically.This combination workshop/seminar covers the steps essential to preparing a classic double-dug garden bed, including soil preparation and composting, digging methods, weed control, watering systems, sowing seed and harvesting. You’ll also learn the basics of identifying common insects and diseases and controlling them using natural methods.

This class will involve some outdoor activities. Please bring a wide-brimmed hat and wear long sleeves. Also, bring appropriate clothing for cold or inclement weather. No shorts or sandals, please.
