01 Aug New Season of Citizen Gardener starting up!
We are pleased to see a new season of Citizen Gardener Classes coming up under the fine management of our friends at the Sustainable Food Center. You have four choices to participate in this three part class series, which consists of a Saturday Morning, a weds evening and another saturday morning. The 20th of August, the 3rd or the 17th of September, and the 3rd of October are the next four class starting dates.
From their website:
This class will teach you how to turn your bare ground or Bermuda Grass lawn into raised-garden beds that are small enough to manage, but big enough to provide real food. This hands-on course covers Central Texas specific topics and addresses the challenges and benefits to growing in our climate. Learn about composting, rainwater harvesting, mulching components, bio-intensive gardening, bed-building and more in a series of 3 classes. After completing the classes students complete 10 hours of volunteer work in any one of our partner gardens in order to gain the designation of "Citizen Gardener". The hours spent as a volunteer enhance students gardening knowledge and build awareness in their communities about the benefits of gardening.
Details
-Course Fee is $30 for two hands-on classes and one evening discussion.
-$10 is used to process a Criminal Background check, necessary for volunteering under any Sustainable Food Center programs. If you feel uncomfortable completing a CBC, please contact SFC as soon as possible.
