The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. “To nurture a garden is to feed not just a body but the soul. ” Alfred Austin

The benefits of gardening are enormous and everyone who gardens finds something to meet their own needs and interests. In this weekly class we explore those benefits together and encourage each other to experiment, explore and have fun in the garden. We look at ways to improve our diets through cooking in season or growing our own food. No experience is required, nor is having your own garden - all levels of experience are welcomed and valuable to our group!

The focus of our classes moves with the seasonal changes. In the upcoming fall session some of the topics we will cover include:

• Saving Summer

• Saving Your Own Seeds

• Flower Seeds to Plant in Fall

• Top September Gardening Activities

• Fall & Winter Gardening

• How to Plant & Care for Fall Mums in Pots

• Seedling Heat Mats & Grow Lights

• How to Grow Great Herbs Indoors Over Winter

• Fall Farmers Markets

• All About Brussels Sprouts

• Gardening for Birds

• How to Grow Broad Beans

• Autumn Leaves – Nature's Gift to Gardeners!

• Top October Gardening Activities

• Growing Garlic from Start to Finish

• Swiss Chard – A Winter Wonder Veg

We’d love to have you join our group and glory in the garden with us!
