The Grow Your Own Organic Garden class is designed for adults but would be appropriate for teens and middle-grade kids, as well. Additionally, the class is geared toward beginner gardeners or individuals who have been gardening for a long time but want to learn more about how to garden sustainably. Participants will learn the basics of organic gardening -- such as supporting soil and plant health, starting seeds indoors and outdoors, interplanting, pest management, watering, and harvesting. Students will have plenty of time to ask questions and connect about shared experiences in their gardening journeys so far. By the end of this class, participants should feel equipped with knowledge -- and connected to resources and community members -- that will help them grow an organic garden, and feel satisfied with the process of doing so. This class will be taught by a garden educator with years of experience who is local to our area. We have many educators who have taught this class in years past and are thrilled to have the opportunity to do it again in 2025! MOFGA provides GYOOG educators with a PowerPoint and other materials to work with, as well as resources for further learning to provide students. Students will also go home with some seeds to start in their gardens.
