Gardening Basics – Demonstrative Workshop

Victory Gardens is hosting its first demonstrative work-shop of the season where you will learn the basics of home growing including information on soil, transplanting, seed sowing and composting; if you are new to growing or just need a refresher, this is a great work-shop for you! We will spend some time inside, and then move outside to get our hands dirty! Don’t worry, it is not too late to start for the season, it has only started to warm up and now is the perfect time to learn the ropes. Each participant will leave with a package of certified organic seeds and the knowledge to get growing.
