Gardening in Colorado is a unique challenge. This class will give you the confidence to begin planning your garden before the last frost hits! Participants will learn how to read seed packets, the importance of plant spacing, where to source local seeds, and how to nurture their ecosystem with companion planting and mulch. Participants will learn to use the square-foot gardening method which maximizes limited growing space and will have time to practice planning with classmates and the instructor.
