Cancelled – Plan a Small-Space Veggie Garden
January 27 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to cancel the class on 1/27/2024. We are working to see if an alternate date will be possible.
Join us for an in-person, interactive workshop for beginning gardeners to learn how to plan a vegetable garden for small spaces.
GPCA staff will guide participants step by step in designing one 4 ft by 8 ft raised bed, while reviewing key elements for planning a veggie garden that includes herbs and flowers to support pollinators. Topics include:
- Assessing Site Growing Conditions
- Setting Gardeners’ Goals
- Determining Plants’ Needs
- Tips for Creative Flourishes
After the group design activity, participants will have time to work independently on plans for raised beds or containers for their own gardens.
Registration fee includes a materials kit that contains a book, handouts, graph paper and colored pencils.
Class available for ages 18+
Cost
$40 General Public
