Experiencia de clase
Students don't need to have prior experience or knowledge of gardening. This class is for beginners to start thinking about all the factors in creating a healthy, happy garden! In this gardening class, we will talk about the basics of gardening: I will do my best to keep group classes sectioned into similar ages as well as learning goals. I want to tailor the class to the specific learner(s) plans, experience, and learning desires. For example, we can focus more on the science of plants...

I have been gardening for 10 years and have started a permanent agriculture food forest on my quarter acre property in the city in Michigan. The video was of my food forest style garden there! That is where I fell in love with gardening and decided to move to Colorado and become a farmer!
One book I like to refer to is The Resilient Farm and Homestead.
