This course will take place entirely outside in VanDusen’s vegetable garden, giving participants a living window of knowledge into a food garden.
Claire will use garden examples to discuss: which pests and diseases are a concern and how they are dealt with organically, harvest techniques and timing, good companions in the garden, and which plants are doing double duty as a beneficial insect attractant, natural pest repellent, or soil improver. Learn great ideas, solutions, and how to implement them in your own garden. Class is entirely outside, rain or shine. Limited to 15 students.
