Would you like to grow your own fresh food? Interested in staying healthy? Join us for a program that combines growing your own food with a health-promoting diet. This all-day workshop will help you learn to sustainably grow fruits & vegetables, hydroponics, efficient irrigation, and edible ornamental plants that you can use to creat delicious and healthy recipes.

When: May 6, 2024 from 9:00am - 4:30pm
Where: 2232 NE Jacksonville Rd., Ocala, FL 34470

Cost: $40 per person. Lunch is included. Thanks in part to generous sponsorship, you will receive a hydroponic and vegetable growing kit, recipes, and edible plants!

If you have special dietary restrictions, please let Mark Bailey know by April 25th. If you require special accommodations, requests must be made at least 2 weeks prior to the program. Call 352-671-8407 or email [email protected]
