Upcoming Workshops

There are all sorts of very exciting things going on here at the farm. You will have noticed the
Heritage Cedar Rial Fence Building Workshop I posted about earlier. We have several other teaching workshops that will be happing as well. The details and dates are just being worked out.

Alternative Gardening Styles:
Straw bale gardening
Lasagna Gardening
No-till Gardening


This workshop will teach you new methods of gardening that can be done in any space, no special tools are required. These methods require next to no weeding and are wonderful for people that can not or prefer not to have to get down on their hands and knees, preventing a sore back.
Presented by: Tannis Cowan
