Growing Workshop

Every vegetable needs different nutrients and different hours of exposure to the sun. Full sun, partial sun, shade. How much should you water. The soil concentration is can range; dense or loosely packed. The seeds you pick to grow. The season in which you plant your seeds. Will you be planting in raised beds, the ground, containers, or bouquets. Which fertilizer will you use. Which potting soil will you use.

All of these questions and more will be answered with ample instruction as well hands on training and practice in Star Farm's newest Growing Workshop. A three part series for participants to learn how to grow their own vegetables, from start to finish. Every detail along the way will be covered, and at the end you'll be going home with your very own, home-grown, produce!

Choose your seeds, plant, germinate, harvest. Come learn how to care for your seedlings and grow your own produce.
