Grow A Garden Workshop Series: Build A Raised Bed

BUILD A RAISED BED

RESCHEDULED FROM JANUARY 31ST (DUE TO WEATHER)

KPB recently got lots of seeds donated through a program sponsored by the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation, Home Depot, and Ferry Morse Seeds.  We are now offering a new educational series to teach you how to grow your own food, with information on soil choices, composting, fertilizing, plant choice, container options, and more.  We are applying for grants to fund this program, so as funds are available, we will provide all the materials for your new garden!  You’ll go home with the containers, soil, seeds, and more to begin growing your own fresh food. We received our first grant from the Pickens Community Resource Association, funded by the sales at The Community Thrift Store.

For this specific workshop, we will focus on building a new raised garden bed right here at the KPB Office. We will teach you how to fill the new bed with a special “lasagna layering” technique to set up the soil for a productive growing environment, and we will also explain how and where to plant new seeds and seedlings. We will also build a trellis frame on the raised bed (time permitting). You will go home with a seed starter kit to grow your own garden with!

No experience necessary.
