COURSE MATERIAL
The 3-course series is intended to serve as a unit so that in each class you will cover new information. The dates were chosen so that you would be exposed to seasonality, different planting cycles, different aspects of seed saving, etc. Actual class material will vary depending on the weather and what Nature has provided this spring and summer. This flexibility is part of a successful heirloom gardening program.
Basics for lunch will be provided and will consist of light organic dishes with ingredients from the garden, herbal teas, mineral water, etc. You are welcome to bring a dish to add to the pot-luck lunch table.
