Lift the winter blues and embrace spring through this comprehensive organic garden workshop. This class will take you through the entire lifecycle of the garden – from starting seeds, creating healthy soil to final harvest. Designed for both first-time and experienced gardeners, this class emphasizes regenerative, chemical-free methods for producing high quality food.

Randy Mermel has nearly two decades of experience working as an educator and organic gardener at Farmers Rising. By sharing the garden as a living classroom with people of all ages and backgrounds, he aims to connect people with the soil and foster participation in healthy, local food systems that are good for people and the planet. He lives with his family in a geodesic dome in Roscoe, and loves to travel and explore the natural world.

This workshop is best suited for ages 13 and up. Please register in advance. Participation fee is $25/person.
