District 214 Community Education

Cultivating, weeding, watering, and harvesting in your garden are over and done with for the season. What do you do next? For starters, letting it lay there until the following spring is exactly the wrong thing to do. Mark Lyons, an experienced garden coach, will discuss cleaning up the garden after the harvest is in, preparing the soil for the following spring, winterizing garden tools, fall planting, dealing with excess from the harvest, and preparing for next year's garden.

Sprouts and microgreens are mini vegetable plants that are easy to grow, yet packed with nutrients. In this class you will learn how to grow and use these little powerhouses!

You've planted a variety of edible plants and they have produced a bumper crop of sweet, crunch, flavorful fruits and vegetables. You would love to plant them again next year, but you dislike the thought of spending more money on seeds or plants. Why not save the seeds from your existing plants? In the workshop you will learn how to collect, preserve and store those precious seeds to ensure another successful crop next year.
