Taught by Tina Marie Wilcox, Head Gardener and Herbalist, Heritage Herb Garden
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.
