Harvest Pierce County, Pierce County Public Works and Franklin Pierce School District are coordinating to host the sixth year of the Edible GardensWorkshop Series. With eight different workshop topics taught in five different locations, you’ll surely be able to find one that suits your goals for this growing season. Want to learn how to grow an amazing garden all in containers? Curious about a pesky bug that’s been eating your vegetables? Take a peak at one of the free Edible Gardens classes near you and chances are you’ll find what you’re looking for. Classes are all designed specifically for Pierce County’s unique garden growing assets and are the perfect boost to seasoned and new gardeners alike.

There is a common misperception that one must be born with a “Green Thumb” to successfully grow vegetables. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Everyone has the capacity to garden and grow a healthy and productive vegetable garden; but we could all use a little help. A great big shout out to LRI who continue to sponsor these classes. These wouldn’t be possible without their contribution.
