Introduction to Vegetable Gardening, March 2nd @ 1:00 PM

Ali Coakley of Night Owl Farm for a class designed for the absolute
beginner, but all are welcome in this foundational course. We will show
you everything you need to know to start your gardening journey. This
course is designed for those who aren't sure where to start, but have
the desire to grow. At the end of the class you will have a basic
understanding of what plants will grow best in your space, where to get
the plants you desire to grow, how to address the most common growing
issues, and when to harvest your bounty. We will focus on the most
common crops grown in gardens, but will be open to questions specific to
you and your growing space throughout our time together. This course
will be from a no-till, organic perspective, including a focus on
supporting life in your soil and why that's important. Those interested
in other approaches to gardening are absolutely welcome, but our focus
will be on the values that we hold at the farm!
