Summer is just around the corner, and nothing will leave you feeling better than fresh fruits and vegetables, especially if they come from your very own garden!

Their 5-Session hands-on workshop, the Edible Evergreen Kitchen Garden Course, will take you step-by-step from your garden to your plate! The goal of the course is to teach you about sustainable growing and preparing fresh organic produce. Lessons on planning, planting, maintaining, turning, and canning will make eating fresh a breeze!
