Vegetable Gardening 101

Vegetable gardening is something everyone can enjoy, from the novice to the experienced gardener. It can be a way to bring fresh food to your table, a way to teach children where food comes from, or even a way to beautify your yard! Gretel Anspach will lead the discussion, where you will look at different types of vegetable gardens and discuss layout, variety choices, and growing techniques. And you can leave with some seeds to get started with!
