Hands On Learning

Hands On Learning

for BEING THERE

Go from an average gardener to a "Grower" by working side-by-side local talent. No online class can replace what you learn at the end of a trowel or a trencher!  At the same time you'll get how-to-tips as you need them and be able to taste test the results.


To get started, go to the GARDEN MAP, find gardens near you and read up on which one may best fit your style and available time.


SPEAKERS BUREAU

Does your garden group need to know how to get rid of slugs or how to prune a fruit tree? We have master gardeners who can stop by and give a talk on those topics and more.Contact us with your needs and we'll try to match you up with a local expert.
