Old Time Gardening Tips & Tricks

This class is a no-frills and all skills approach to gardening. Learn how to grow your own healthy, organic food the way the “Old Timers” did!

We will discuss sourcing unique seeds and learn how to harden off seedlings so they can survive transplanting. Once planted, what’s next? We will discuss low maintenance weed control and natural fertilizers, and we will put some of the old time gardening wisdom into action.

You will be amazed how much food you can grow in a small garden space!
