About this Event
Only two things money can't buy
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes. - Guy Clark
Growing edible plants in small urban spaces is as old as the invention of cities. While each outdoor urban space has unique opportunities and challenges, some basic skills can go a long way. During this class, participants will explore how light, space, and access to water will shape what they can successfully grow. W.S. Jenks rooftop is a perfect lab for mimicking real-world growing situations, providing a unique hands-on approach to learning.
