Join us just before summer begins to learn about the basics of planting and growing a vegetable garden! This beginner-level gardening workshop will be lead by Vancouver-based organic farmer, Mik Turje of @rencollfood. He will be instructing us on how to get started with a healthy growing environment to produce your own delicious vegetables all season long.

 

Session 2 – The Nuts and Bolts of Gardening: Planting, Watering, Fertility, and Harvest
