Description

If you couldn't join the first class before it sold out....this is a repeat of our popular class, presented by Candace Godwin, Certified Idaho Master Gardener & Owner, of The Coeur d'Alene Coop. We'll cover all the basics of starting a vegetable garden from seed (plus herbs and flowers too). Topics include seed biology, what seeds need to germinate, soils and fertilizers, timing and understanding days to maturity, and seed starting equipment. Plus Free tomato seeds to all participants! Kara Carleton, Coordinator of the Idaho Master Gardener Program will also show a unique method called like soil blocking to save time and resources. Soil blocking allows you to get rid of most of your plastic in your seed starting process. Let's get our 2023 growing season off to a great start together! 

Brief soil demonstrations during break time will help you learn to work with the soil you have and gain success with your garden soil and structure!
