Join us at Friends of Allan Gardens' Urban Agriculture Workshop Series, where we'll provide urban gardeners with the knowledge, experience, and materials that you'll need to properly plan your garden, start your seeds, and set up your seedlings and garden for success!Garden planning starts with understanding the basic needs of your plants. We’ll take you through what a plant needs to grow (it’s not just sunlight and water!), and we’ll teach you how to match those needs with what your garden can provide so that you can find the best spot for each plant. You’ll finish the workshop with a working plan on what, where, and when to plant in your vegetable garden this year. A well-designed plan can set you up for a successful growing season!
Starting your own seeds is a great way to save money, it broadens the variety of plants that you can grow, and prepares you to save your seeds down the road. In this workshop, we’ll teach you about seedling lifecycles, what seeds need to germinate, and how to properly care for your seeds and seedlings until they’re ready to be transplanted outdoors.
Note, these workshops will focus on growing outdoors in both in-ground garden beds and in containers. We’ll focus on vegetable garden growing but most of the same concepts will apply to other plants as well.
These workshops will be led by Derek Barber of @HomesteadTO and hosted by Amanda Johnson @theblackplanter of the Friends of Allan Gardens. These workshops are pay-what-you-can but a $25 cash donation recommended.
