Grow Your Own Food: A Virtual Garden Tour

Join food forest gardener Denise Crawley each month to learn how she grows an abundance of food using low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and sustainable gardening practices.

This month, join Denise here at Rockledge Gardens as she leads you on an inspiring photo-led garden tour through her 8-year-old garden and food forest.

You will learn the tips, tricks, and routines she uses to take the stress out of gardening - making it more fun, more productive, and less costly than traditional gardening practices.

Using photos and videos from Denise's 8-year-old food forest, we will discuss:

Topics

• What plants grow well here, and where. Different sun exposures, soil types, and moisture levels.
  

• How to grow your own soil | Compost and cover crops
  

• Garden bed ideas | Using your resources
  

• What to plant now in Brevard County
  

• Routines and techniques to greatly increase your food production
  

• Water sources
  

• Dealing with pest damage and sick plants
  

• Beneficial plants, insects, and weeds help your garden grow.
