Grow-Your-Own Fall Greens! (Saturday)

Slow Farm

Nothing tastes better than food you grow yourself— especially greens and herbs fresh from your own stylish container garden!

Greens are a fast, forgiving crop with two growing seasons here in NC. They are the first things up in spring and the last plants standing in winter! Elevated container gardens are a great way to keep your lettuce, chard, radishes, spinach, and kale convenient but out of the reach of veg bandits!Join us for a hands-on container garden workshop, as well as a walking tour of our 47 acre regenerative farm (including visiting with goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more!). As we walk we’ll talk about seasonal plants and working with nature’s cycles to grow healthy, sustainable food— right in your back yard or on your porch, patio, or balcony! Never worry about a lettuce recall again!

YOU’LL MAKE: One elevated planter, made with pine &amp; cedar and painted with a unique glue-resist design. In the interest of time, I’ll have things pre-cut and started. I’ll show you how to assemble, sand, paint, and seal your container garden in preparation for planting when you get home! (Make sure you bring a vehicle large enough to transport your masterpiece!) In addition to a fun, relaxing afternoon on the farm you will receive:<ul><li>12” D x 48” W x 36” H elevated planter</li><li>Printed planting schedule and care instructions</li><li>Assorted seasonal seeds</li><li>Refreshments (locally sourced when possible!)</li></ul>
