Small Space, Big Harvest - Container Gardening for Everyone

containerGardening.jpg
Think you don't have enough space to garden? Think again! You don't need a massive backyard or expensive raised beds to grow your own fresh food.
Join us at the Greenhouse for a practical, "no-fluff" session on mastering container gardening using what you already have.
We’re skipping the fancy systems and focusing on how to turn everyday items—like 5-gallon buckets and recycled tubs—into high-yielding garden plots.
 
What we’ll cover:
Upcycled Containers: How to prep 5-gallon buckets and other household containers (and why drainage is your best friend).
The "Right" Dirt: Why you should never use "garden soil" in a pot and how to mix your own budget-friendly potting medium.
Variety Selection: What to look for on seed packets and plant tags.
Feeding & Watering: The specific needs of container plants vs. in-ground plants.

COST: $20 Per person
