Grow A Garden Workshop Series: In-Ground Gardening

February 28 @ 11:00 am 2:00 pm

LEARN HOW TO GROW A NEW IN-GROUND GARDEN

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 in-ground garden. We will show you how to choose the right location, how to remove what’s currently growing there, if needed, how to prep the soil with cardboard, compost, mulch, etc. We will also teach you how to care for this garden and certain plants, as far as watering, feeding, etc.

No experience necessary.
All ages.
This is a FREE EVENT.
