Designing a Vegetable Garden - Part 2 of 4 with Heather Welch
Saturdays 9:30 to 11:00 AM
7/11, 7/18, 7/25, 8/1
Requested Donation: $10 each class ($40 for the series)

Learn all aspects of designing a productive vegetable garden in the low desert. This is a multi-part series that will guide you through the design process so that in fall you'll be ready to plant your first garden and be eating out of it shortly afterwards. Nothing tastes as good as homegrown food!

In Designing a Vegetable Garden: Part 2 we will go over how to prep the location that has been decided on in the intervening week between the previous class. This will include possible grass, rock or landscaping removal, the raised or sunken bed question and building the soil with compost, mulch and amendments.
