Organic Greenhouse Gardening

The mission of this workshop is to introduce new greenhouse gardeners to the physical elements of a greenhouse, plant containers, and growing medium. Organic gardeners will learn about plant nutrition, disease prevention, and pest control. Students will “get growing” with a hands-on plant propagation workshop and get organized with an introduction to lunar gardening. Bring sharp pruners, a serrated steak knife, and wear layers for comfort inside and outside the greenhouse.

The registration fee is due upon registration. The class and materials fee is due directly to the instructor at the beginning of class. Tina Marie accepts cash, check, or PayPal. You will be emailed a supply list directly from your instructor after you register. Registration closes 4 days before the beginning of class.
