Are you a vegetable gardener who enjoys acceptable but not amazing productivity? Do you wish your soil were more fertile? Do you have garden pests or diseases tht you haven't been able to identify or eradicate? Do you just wish you had someone to consult with about your own particular gardening challenges? If you'd like to take your gardening to the next level, then this Garden Guru Program is just for you!
Join Wasatch Community Gardens' Community Education Program Director, Marybeth Janerich ("Mb"), this spring for a series of 5 workshops and a private group field trip that will give you the tools you need to improve the productivity and health of your garden. Garden Gurus will receive all of the following as part of this program:
- A choice of two garden journals to help you track crops and productivity in a way that works best for you,
- A two-hour private group consultation devoted to Garden Planning & Design,
- Admission to 5 of our special-topic organic gardening workshops* (a $50 value),
- Entrance to our much-coveted Pre-Sale on Friday evening, May 12th, the night before our Spring Plant Sale, (a $250 value),
- Two seedlings of rare, heirloom varieties of tomatoes or peppers grown from seed in our greenhouse (these varieties will NOT be available at the Spring Plant Sale),
- Private group field trip to the USU Extension Office,
- Entrance to our annual Urban Garden and Farm Tour on Saturday, June 24th,
- .And the knowledge and confidence you need to improve productivity in your home garden.
The cost of the entire series is $349. 100% of the proceeds support Wasatch Community Gardens' programs in the community.
