The Resilient Garden Course

Welcome to our first ever intensive gardening course that will serve as an annual fundraiser for farm improvements!

8 Weeks: September 29th through November 17th

 Sundays: 10am-12pm 

We know there is a lot of information out there about growing food, but this is our down to earth approach to life and farming. In this course you will immerse yourself in the world of gardening with nature, learn to understand and connect with natural processes, and gain new perspective on what it means to be a steward of land (even on a very small scale). No quick fixes, or miracle products here…we will be diving deep into how to cultivate resilient systems for long term healthy food growing. This course is designed to be accessible to all levels of gardeners and will leave space for deeper discussion for those looking for more. Each week will cover a different aspect of the sustainable garden, includes an activity designed to inspire everyone to engage more with nature, and offers a take-home item to enjoy (garden journals, seeds, recipes, and more!). On the final day of the course we will share snacks and drinks in the greenhouse, get those seed catalogs out, and plan your custom dream garden! Those who attend all 8 weeks, will have access to our greenhouse and supplies for seed starting in the spring!
