Event Overview

It is utterly forbidden to be half-hearted about gardening. You have got to love your garden whether you like it or not. ~W.C. Sellar & R.J. Yeatman, Garden Rubbish, 1936

Do you longingly at lush vegetables? Do you look wishfully at the pictures in seed catalogs? Does your mouth water over the organic produce department in the grocery store? If you've answered yes to any of the above questions then gardening is for you!

We at Hardpan Horticulture share these characteristics, and we will be sharing with you the basic bits of knowledge that will allow you to have your very own local, “farm to table,” organic garden spot; producing luscious vegetables and better health at the same time. Gardening has been designated by the FDA as a “moderately strenuous activity,” and this is a hands-on class that will give you the chance to really get your hands dirty in the very best way in the world: growing in the dirt.

We will cover a basic structure of gardening knowledge, everything from soil vitality to seasons to plant selection and placement. And the best part: this is growing as local as you can get!

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

"What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it." ~Charles Dudley Warner, My Summer in a Garden, 1871

The best explanation for Hardpan Horticulture is that they are working on their cast-iron backs. More practically, they are a couple of do-it-yourself-ers who love to grow their own food and love to share it with everybody! Their produce is all home-grown and organic. It's as local as you can get as it's usually picked it out of the garden that morning. They do their own home-canning of jams, relishes, chutneys, and pickles of all kinds; as well as making cheese, beer, herbal skin products. and harvesting their own honey and beeswax. Trading recipes and methods is their best way to wish everyone a Happy Gardening!

    It was a fun class! It got me started off on the right foot as a new vegetable gardener.
