New! - Cultivating Your Green Thumb: An All Ages Container Gardening Experience

What is this Workshop? This class was designed as our first hands-on, all-ages class, low-stress experience to get the whole family growing. I've had a blast seeing the beaming faces of kids, teens, and their families as they leave the class with their hands full of things to grow! I had a library ask if we had any classes for kids. Immediately my mind went to my school-garden days. However, I had to make this a choose-your-own adventure that was be welcoming and accessible to a wide age range and experience of participants.  Everytime I run this class, it's a bit different because I meet people where they are. I generally have no idea who's going to show up and what they are interested in learning. I think that's the fun of it. I set up a buffet of 4 stations. I've done this with all the materials on the grass/floor, but it's best to have about 8 tables grouped in pairs. As participants come in, I welcome them and give them the broad directions: You can make several container gardens
