GROW YOUR OWN FOOD

START YOUR OWN GARDEN

Growing your own food builds confidence, resilience, and connection to the nature.

Take our 2-hour workshop to learn simple, practical strategies for starting and maintaining your own garden—regardless of size or location.

Together, we’ll cover:

Garden Planning

  • Site assessment: Where should I put my garden?

  • Crop selection: What should I grow?

  • Crop planning: When do I start seeds and harvest?

Seed Starting

  • Choosing the right soil and containers

  • Water management for quick germination and healthy seedlings

  • Supplemental lighting and setting up your seed-starting space

Garden Maintenance

  • Crop placement in the garden

  • Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

  • Soil health and long-term maintenance

  • Seed saving basics

Each participant will take home a simple garden planning guide, a curated resource list, and newly seeded pots to continue growing at home.
