Sustainable Edible Gardening

Sustainability may mean different things to different people, but if you are interested in learning how to build a sustainable, edible garden from the ground up, then this is the class for you!

From the soil to designing the garden bed to picking plants you only have to plant once, you can create a garden that will ear you the name 'lazy gardener!' The class will also demystify the term permaculture (derived from permanent and agriculture) and show you how you can work with nature to build gardens that will almost take care of themselves! We will also explore some unique, wild edibles that you may not have considered before as well as some of the more exotic edibles you can grow and stop paying high prices in the grocery store at the same time.

So, if you are looking for streamlined sustainability – and want to learn new ways to make gardening more fun - you won't be disappointed!
