Your Best Veggie Garden - 6 week Class - Reg. by 2/21
If you have never grown a vegetable garden or are a novice vegetable gardener, here is a class for you! Experienced gardeners that want to hone their skills are welcome as well.
Possum Creek MetroPark Farm is offering Your Best Vegetable Garden on Tuesday evenings, March 6 to April 10, from 6 - 9 pm. Each class covers a different topic and a hands-on project pertinent to growing a successful garden. Guest speakers and MetroParks personnel present topics on soil and composting, planning the garden, planting the garden, pests of the garden, and preserving the harvest. The last session is devoted to the class participants sharing some aspect of gardening. One Saturday in April is a work day and field trip to an area vegetable grower.
There are some mandatory stipulations associated with this class: an interview, finger printing; and class fee of $20 (due at the interview). Participants are also requested to complete 25 hours of service learning volunteer hours at Possum Creek Farm or one of the other MetroPark garden sites following completion of the class. Materials for the hands-on project are supplied for you.
Interested in signing up? Contact Kevin Kepler, Volunteer Services Manager, by email or at (937) 275-7275 ext 1212 to arrange an interview. Kevin can be reached by calling . Please register by February 21, 2012.
