For the past 6 years we have been teaching an introductory veggie gardening workshop for beginner gardeners at our urban farm & plant nursery and while Covid-19 has moved the workshop online we are still just as excited to share all of our knowledge & resources with you all this season. One other big change to our gardening workshop is that we've decided to make it into a series! In the past we tried to cram all of our most essential tips and tricks into one 3 hour info-bonanza... and it was sometimes challenging for people to soak it all in. This season we are splitting the workshop into 4 sections that will focus on whats happening in your garden during that time in the growing season specifically. 

Video four is our "summer" section and it aims to introduce you to the wild and weird world of tropical perennial forest gardening. We start with an hour long lecture-style discussion of the following topics:

-why is summer growing so different/ challenging
-what plants will thrive in the summer months
-introduction to permaculture
-what is a perennial food forest
-how to design a food forest guild

After that we move on to conversation about cover cropping with farmer Chris French of French Farms, who is currently cover cropping his vegetable fields to improve his soil quality and fertility. then we grab a shovel and a mulberry plant and plant a tree for you, so you can see just how we do it for optimum transplant success. 

Choose from our new sliding scale pricing model for payment and once you check out we will send you a private link so you can stream the video ( in HD or SD, and watch it as many times as you'd like) along with a PDF booklet to follow along with, which includes links to further resources, photos, charts and more. After you purchase this item in our web shop we will send you an email with the link and PDF booklet, but it may take us a few hours to do so. If you don't receive the email within 24 hours of purchase please check your spam folder, as many of them are getting eaten by spam filters!

Check out the info graphic provided for more information on how to use our sliding scale pricing model. The lowest price, our "institutional" price is for use by teachers at public schools who are incorporating gardening into their curriculum or anyone who is running or involved in a nonprofit organization focused on the intersection of social justice, the environment, food justice and/or sustainability.
