Event Overview
This 90-minute class teaches you all that's needed for having a very successful fall garden. You'll learn the basics of the square foot gardening system where very little work is done compared to traditional gardening. No heavy digging. No thining. No weeding. No kidding! We won't be spendiung any time on the advanced techniques because they aren't needed during this time of year.
Fall is a great time to have a garden. The weather is warm enough so that seeds sprout quickly, and with the cooling evening temperatures it becomes the second spring for planting. It might seem early but this is the time to plan, gather materials and seed, then start planting!
The class is held in a very comfortable and private residential home. Participants leave with a handout highlighting the basics of the SFG system along with a planting schedule.
