About this Event
Would you like to grow your own fresh food? Interested in staying healthy? Join us for a program that combines growing your own food with a health-promoting diet. This all-day workshop will help you learn to sustainably grow fruits & vegetables, hydroponics, efficient irrigation, and edible ornamental plants that promote good health!
When: May 20th, from 9:00am - 4:00pm
Where: 2232 NE Jacksonville Rd., Ocala, FL 34470
Cost: $55 per person. Lunch is included and will be catered by a local organic farm. Thanks in part to generous sponsorship, you will receive: a hydroponic and vegetable growing kit, recipes, and edible plants! We will also have an opportunity to test for anti-oxidants, which is a indicator of a healthy diet!
