Description

*This class is currently full. You can join the waitlist here.

Not sure you have enough space for a garden? You don’t need a yard to grow your own food! Get creative with container gardening and you can grow greens, herbs, blueberries, and even hot peppers. Container gardening is great for beginners, apartment dwellers and anyone with challenging soil.

In this class you will learn about:

  • Benefits of growing in containers
  • Choosing soil, containers and location for your container garden
  • Considerations for growing herbs, greens, small fruits and summer vegetables
  • Ongoing maintenance of your container garden

This in-person class will include a conversational lecture, a garden tour, and hands-on activities. The class will take place both indoors and outdoors, with the indoor portion in a room with an air filter and windows open for good ventilation. Class size is limited to 16 people, and we will be following current public health recommendations.
