You’ll also learn some great tips about keeping your houseplant happy and healthy.

Does your garden look a little bare after the summer? Join our farmers to learn when, where, and how to grow crops that can be harvested into the fall! In this class, we will review the planning, spacing, timing, and care of fall’s most prolific fruits and vegetables. Participants will leave with a selection of fall crops to take home and plant in their own gardens.
