About this Event
Welcome to the Garden Gateway Workshop!
This month’s workshop focuses on growing food in raised beds and containers, and preparing seasonal, fermented greens in the kitchen. The session supports participants in making the most of limited space while deepening skills in preservation and everyday food resilience.
Gardening Topic – Growing in Raised Beds and Containers
This month’s gardening lesson centers on building and growing in raised beds and containers, with an emphasis on flexibility for different home and community settings. Participants will learn how to assemble raised beds, understand soil depth and drainage needs, and choose crops that do well in these systems. The session will cover how raised beds and containers support better soil structure, water management, and accessibility for gardeners of different ages and abilities.
Registered participants will receive wood, screws, and raised bed materials, gaining hands-on experience in constructing or reinforcing growing spaces that can be adapted to yards, patios, or small urban plots.
Nutrition Topic – Greens Kimchi
The nutritional topic, Greens Kimchi, a fermented dish that uses leafy greens to create a tangy, nutrient-dense food that can be stored and eaten over time. Participants will learn the basics of fermentation, including salt ratios, packing, timing, and safe storage. The session will highlight how fermentation supports gut health, reduces food waste, and turns surplus or seasonal greens into a long-lasting pantry staple.
Registered participants will receive fresh greens and a jar to begin their own batch of Greens Kimchi during the workshop and take it home.
