Want veggies this spring and summer? Crunchy home-grown lettuce and hearty kale and other greens? West End Urban Garden Club presents this two-part in-depth workshop covering the basics of planning, preparing and starting a food garden this Spring. You'll learn some simple techniques for starting plants indoors and in the garden, tailored to your space. Be rewarded with the taste of freshly grown veggies this season! We'll look at soil, fertilizing organically, watering, types of containers, different sun orientations and of course, what to grow in your space.

This two-session intensive is perfect for someone who wants some guidance through the spring growing season. Learn the basics at the first session and leave with some gardening homework. Return to the second session with your spring gardening experiences and questions for further learning.

We’ll hone in on the veggies to start right now, the perfect ingredients for a salad! You'll come away with the knowledge to plant, grow, pick, and eat peas, and greens such as pac choi, beets, lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, and kale right now! Enjoy the taste of freshly grown veggies this season!

We’ll also learn about the best seeds to start saving, so that you can continue your garden season after season and why and how to harvest, dry, and store seeds. The community seed library will be present – participants will receive free seeds and other goodies.
