Growing your own organic food is a delicious way to garden in the Pacific Northwest, but where do you start? This class will cover what you need to know to grow a fabulous edible garden for years to come, whether you’re creating an “urban farmstead”, gardening in a small city lot, or in patio containers! You’ll learn simple design techniques to maximize production, soil building, planting, attracting pollinators, crop rotation, and other strategies that you can use now to prepare for your upcoming growing season. Vegetables, berries, and fruit trees do need special care to thrive, but your time and energy will pay off in abundance, great taste, and nutrition!
