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!
