Learn how to get the most out of your parking strip food garden.
Saturday, July 16; 10 a.m.-noon
Good Shepherd Center; 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N., Room 107, Seattle, WA 98103
The City of Seattle has made it easier for people to access land to grow food right in front of their homes. Now is a great time to rip out that lawn and start to build a productive veggie garden. We’ll discuss how to get started, what you can plant and how best to maintain these gardens as well as important safety considerations. Class participants will leave with a clear understanding of the new rules, information on soil testing, raised bed materials, a list of the best vegetable varieties to plant and some sample planting plans. This class will include an indoor lecture and a tour of nearby parking strip gardens. Please dress for the weather.
COST: $36 or $25 for Seattle Tilth members. Advance registration and payment are required.
