To help you learn more about organic gardening, composting and growing your own food and flowers, Silver Lake Farms offers regular workshops the first and second Sunday
of every month.
Our classes are more about practice than lecture so be prepared to dig in and get dirty! We have several plots to cultivate from scratch, and plenty of space to work in. Learning here is a great opportunity for practical experience. The added benefit is the chance to meet gardeners, including master gardeners, who have tended their vegetable plots for years.
Classes are limited to 10 people. You have to register for each class in advance. The first
10 people to register will receive an email confirmation.
I’ll probably repeat the same topic again to give more people the chance to learn.
Upcoming workshops will be posted here around the 20th of every month. Check in then to find out what’s coming up in the month ahead!
For questions regarding the workshops call (323) 644-3700 or email me here.
