Living Lands Home-Gardening Classes

January 24, 2011

Living Lands is offering a new series of home-gardening classes this year – far beyond the scope of how to cultivate annual veggies! Pick the ones that will be most helpful to you as you integrate more sustainable food farming into your own home garden.

They will be kicking off the series on February 12:

Site Design – How to Assess Your Yard & Plan for a Successful Garden
With Tom & Renee Wade

This is a great opportunity to learn how to create a successful food garden that not only feeds you, but contributes to the rhythms and health of your local eco-system. The class will take place at one of our new residential farm sites near Nevada City. More details about this class here:
