·    Making a plan for your space

·    Identifying and using resources

·    Creating beds

·    Recruiting volunteers

·    The supplies you really need

·    Recommended fruits, vegetables, flowers, and herbs to plant and how to use them

Spend the week with our staff and volunteers and learn from their experience.
