Cancelled – Plan a Small-Space Veggie Garden

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+
