Hands-On Organic Vegetable Gardening Class

Don’t have a lot of time, money, patience, or space…but want a productive vegetable garden?

learn about DFW’s unique growing season(s), climate, soils, plants, and water resources
raise safe, nutritious food for your family
teach children to know and enjoy gardening
What will I do in the class?

Basics: Gain knowledge needed to turn your bare ground or Bermuda grass lawn into raised-garden beds – in the right place, with the right soil, at the right time, with the right plants. Small enough to manage, big enough to provide real food.
Techniques: Raised beds; soil, mulch, and compost; bio-intensive/square-foot gardening, organic methods.
plant varieties that work best in the North Central Texas area
water management
plant starts, seeds, and propagation
good and bad bugs
80% hands-on -- Remainder of class is discussion time
Do It,…Learn It,…Go Home and Do It:. Saturday AM workshops include fun outdoor activities with a great group.

How it works:

Complete the Course - learn the skills, gain the knowledge, and be encouraged
Community Service - volunteer 10 hours within the program (generally at the garden where your class was hosted)
Become a Citizen Gardener!
