Discover the joy of growing your own food, no matter your experience or space! Join seasoned gardeners Amy Ellard-Gray, and her mom, Tina Gray, for a conversation about growing food in a way that works for you. From a countertop salad bar to a backyard garden that can fill your pantry, Amy and Tina can help you dream up what you can do with the space you have. You’ll learn about some of the easiest ways to grow food – from microgreens to raised bed kitchen gardens. You’ll also learn about the conditions food-crops need to thrive, and tips for making your gardening experience as accessible as possible. While we chat, you’ll get your hands dirty and start some seeds to take home and harvest later in the spring.

Sliding Scale Tickets:
All Nourishing Connections workshops are set using a varying sliding scale. The sliding scale recognizes that our economic system is an outdated and oppressive model that does not serve the needs of our community. By offering a range of ticket prices we aim to reduce barriers to participation in community events and learning opportunities that are meant for everyone to enjoy.
Please choose the ticket price that best fits with your needs. This event is for participants ages 55+
