Class Information

Sessions are fun, educational, engaging, chronologically follow the natural rhythms of the growing season, and have the information to get anyone excited to get outside, get dirty, and get growing!

Some examples of Let's Get Dirty! topics:

• Organic...Local...Natural...Huh? Figuring out the terms
• What to plant and when - cool and warm weather crops
• Heirloom vs. hybrid - don't miss this match because the differences matter
• Why and how to start seeds indoors and transplanting your seedling "babies" outside
• Container Gardening for small spaces
• Keep your Garden Friends close - put beneficial creatures and insects to work
• Raised beds - to know 'em is to love 'em
• Composting - there's Black Gold in them thar leaves, grass clippings, and kitchen scraps
• Fall and winter gardening
• and so much more...

Custom designed series can be created according to needs and interests. For employee wellness programs, a six-session series gives a terrific working knowledge to get people started and thriving on healthy habits of organic growing. For more engagement as the year goes on, the series can be extended to up to nine monthly sessions.
