Sunshine & Soil: The New Gardener's Guide
Join Theodora Farm’s very own Farm Store Manager Allyssa for an hour of all things gardening! In this class you will learn the basics of getting started with home gardening. We will discuss the importance of soil health and where to send your samples for accurate testing, the various types of gardens (in ground, raised beds, containers), and the first steps to getting started, no matter what type of space you have. You’ll get access to handy resources that can help with growing timelines and all attendees will receive a 10% discount code they can utilize at our online plant sale pre-order. We will also cover some other important topics for beginners and allow for open discussion among attendees to share what they’ve learned with each other and foster a sense of community.
About Allyssa: Allyssa has been gardening in various settings and environments for over 10 years, and often joins the crew in the field at Theodora at the start of the season. Her degree in human nutrition is a driving force behind her passion for growing vegetables and utilizing them in the kitchen. She can often be found foraging, ‘hanging out’ with the plants in her garden, and trying (to no avail) to get her herding dog to help manage pests. Some of her favorite crops to grow are: tomatoes, peppers, and medicinal herbs.
