Join Von Thun as they show how to prepare your garden & begin planting. Topics will include understanding soils, soil fertility & amendments, bed preparation, direct seeding, transplanting, and watering. We’ll also explore best practices for maintaining a healthy garden once it is growing, talk about crop rotations, succession planting, weeding, and will look at some of the tools you can use.
This introductory class is a great place to start if you are new to gardening or need to develop a greener thumb. Participants will receive our Gardening School Handbook, three 4-packs of cole crop transplants, and a $10 VonThun’s greenhouse gift certificate that can be used to purchase additional transplants. Cost is $25 per person.
