Join us for a purposeful journey back to simpler ways. Whether you consider yourself "a little bit homestead, a little bit hippie, or a little bit prepper," this workshop is designed to help you begin to live a more fulfilling life through the art of growing and preserving your own food.
🙋‍♀️ Led by Missy Vircks of VonDraeger Conceptions, LLC, this session goes beyond basic planting. We will explore how gardening serves as a physical, emotional, and spiritual connection to our community and the land. Drawing from real-world challenges—like managing shady yards, dealing with persistent wildlife, and fixing "wet feet" in the garden—we will provide practical, natural solutions to help your garden thrive.
In this workshop, you will learn:
🌱 The Fundamentals of Seed Starting
🌱 Permaculture & Holistic Growing Concepts
🌱 Soil Health
🌱 An Intro to Preserving the Harvest
🌱 Backyard First Aid Teaser
🪴 Hands-On Learning: Theory meets practice in this session! Every student will leave the workshop with their very own set of started seeds. We will walk through the planting process together, ensuring you head home with the foundation of your summer garden ready to grow.
🤷‍♀️ Who Should Attend: Anyone looking to get back to the basics of a purposeful life — from beginners who "can't do it all at once" to experienced gardeners looking to expand into food preservation and medicinal herbs.
