Carroll County Extension Office | Westminster, MD
There's a lot to think about when you are just beginning your first vegetable garden. We will cover the basics and help you get started!About this Event
Why are you gardening? To feed yourself, your family, your community? Who will do the work? Will the garden be a group project, with family members or friends working willingly throughout the season? Or will it just be you? How much time do you have to spend gardening each week? Be realistic about how much time you and your family can devote to the garden. How much room do you have? Access to a large gardening area doesn't mean you need to grow a large garden. A small, W**d-free garden produces more and will give you more pleasure than a large, weedy mess. Start small to give your plants the necessary care as you learn and gain experience. Expand when you are ready. Will you create an in-ground garden, make a raised bed, or grow in containers?
We will be addressing these and other questions in our Beginner Vegetable Garden class!
Participants will work on planning out their garden with help from experienced Master Gardeners and leave with a good foundation for moving forward with their gardens this spring.
This class is appropriate for beginner gardeners.
This class is appropriate for children over 12 yrs of age, must be accompanied by an adult 18 or over.
