With the advent of COVID-19, many people found themselves trying new things, including growing their own food. Some began their gardening adventures to help feed their families in response to sparse grocery store shelves. Some turned to gardening as therapy; as education (for themselves and their kids); as a way to support the local food pantries; or even to expand their spiritual practice.
Food gardening is as easy or challenging as you want to make it. This discussion will give beginners, and gardeners with a few seasons under their belts, an opportunity to ask questions and to learn some of the basics they may have missed out on. As with all subjects, learning more about gardening helps to minimize the heartbreak and maximize the sense of accomplishment. We are all gardeners! Learn how to be a more productive one, and how to enjoy the process, while literally enjoying the fruits of your labors.

S23/07
The scientific names for plants intimidate many gardeners. When we use common names, we run the risk of purchasing the wrong plant or misidentifying plant problems. In this class we will review the history of plant names in the Western world, why they change and why we as gardeners should make an effort to use these names. It’s not all Greek or Latin, and we do not worry too much if we don’t pronounce it perfectly. Having this knowledge can expand your gardening expertise. This course will be offered in-person and as a webinar with the same content. Please register for only one session.
