Now that the threat of "frost" is really behind us, are you ready to get started on your edible garden? The first in the series of "Garden to the Table" Workshops are now open for registration. The first class will be a "how-to" and "what-to" plant, for containers to large plots and every size in-between, and the novice and expert gardener alike.

Earth Day Kids Class

We love to see kids involved in gardening, and since they tend to eat something they have had a hand in growing, why not try a "Pizza" or "Taco" garden, or "Strawberry Smoothie" garden ? Bring them Sunday afternoon from 3-5pm for a "hands-dirty" class. The $20 registration per child includes the plants, soil, and pot to get them growing.

Sunday, April 22 from 3-5 pm Registration: $20

If you register for the kids session, let us know what "garden" you choose so we have plenty of the plants you'll need.

Hope you can join us for our exciting new workshops coming up this month at Garden Supply Co! We look forward to seeing you soon!
