A day of gardening for beginners or intermediate gardeners who have had limited
success producing vegetables. LUNCH included with registration

Raised beds. How much to plant for my family.


Soil & Amendments – the dirt on dirt. 80% of the reasons gardens fail are due to poor soil prep.

decision and after this class it will be an informed decision.

warm and cool season planting and season extending.


Irrigation – to water or not to water, that is the question. Watering essentials are what you can expect in
this class so you can determine when and how to water


Tomatoes – if nothing you need a good tomato. From beginning to end, choosing the right type of
tomato, planting, managing and harvesting.


Mountain Gardening – veggies with altitude. It takes a little know how but you can grow veggies at
higher altitudes with little to no water and prevent wildlife interference. Learn how.
