District 214 Community Education

A successful vegetable garden requires he actions of specific insects and animals to carry pollen from on plant to another. Without these pollinators, most of our fruit and vegetable crops would fail to produce. To help our garden crops produce bountiful harvests, we must encourage these pollinators to come into our gardens, and Mark Lyons, an experienced garden coach, will show you how.

Lacking a big backyard does not mean that you can never have your own vegetable garden. Learn tips and techniques for making the most of limited space to grow a bountiful harvest of sweet, crunchy vegetables.

Aphids eating your cucumbers? Squirrels stealing your corn? Rabbits munching on your lettuce? Can they be stopped? Yes they can. Learn strategies and tactics to stop these invaders from destroying your garden and stealing the fruits and vegetables you worked so hard to grow.

Herbs are wonderful plants that add color to our gardens, flavor and nutrients to our food, and health to our bodies. In this class you will learn how to plant, cultivate and use these lovely, delicious and great-smelling plants.
