Homegrown Harvest: Growing Food in Small Spaces

Join us for an engaging workshop on container gardening and backyard gardening basics! We'll cover essential topics to help you grow healthy, productive plants tailored to your space, whether it's a yard, balcony, deck, or covered porch.

Our workshop will include:

• How to plant effectively in various spaces
• Techniques for intercropping to maximize yield
• Creating perennial gardens and incorporating perennial edibles
• The benefits of choosing native plants for success with fewer resources
• How to make your garden pollinator friendly
• Reusing containers year after year to reduce waste and cost
  

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your gardening skills, this workshop will help you create an eco-friendly garden that supports local pollinators and fits your unique space. Come learn, share ideas, and get inspired to grow your own food!

All materials are provided and include a planting container, gloves, soil, and plants. We encourage you to bring your own containers so you can plant more to take home!
