Urban Garden 101 - Bug Spray and Lavender Sachet

In step with the growing season, beginner gardeners are invited to gain hands-on learning experiences at the learning garden and greenhouse. In the beggining of Summer, we’ll cover fundamental principles and practices of growing plants for specific urban green spaces, preparing soil, designing a garden suitable for each gardener’s specific needs, regenerative and climate-wise gardening, starting seeds, proper planting techniques, and basic plant care. Gardeners in this course will contribute to collective beds in our learning garden as well as tend seedlings to take to their own urban green spaces.

In this class participants will harvest lettuce, spinach,mint,and root vegetbales. Participants will also make bi-products from the herbs in the garden.

Required Texts and Resources: No texts are required. Optional supplemental readings will be given for each class.

Registration: Each track is limited to 16 participants per session. We ask that you kindly register prior the start of the cohort. Urban Gardening 101 is most suited for adults, and we kindly ask participants with children to consider one of our other weekly free family-friendly programs instead.
