Back by popular demand!
We've got almost 200 graduates and new Austin area gardeners who have completed our great course and are growing great vegetables, getting super exercise and nutrition, while trimming expenses, and loving it.
So we are offering more opportunities to join in the fun!
[Winter-]Spring 2010 Citizen Gardener Courses - 5 of them - start on Jan 16 and run through mid-March.
Two Saturday mornings and a Wednesday evening offers 10 hours of instruction. It's hands-on, learning by doing it - site design, make a raised bed, plant a square-foot garden, build a compost pile, learn about Austin climate, soil, planting times; build/plant a mulch bed, turn the compost, see demo of trellis, a little shade-/green-house, rain water collection - all the information/experience you need to design, build, plant, and enjoy your own back-/front-yard garden this Spring. Yup, only in Austin does the planting season start in mid-January and run until mid March - the same time block as these CG Classes.
