The first is our Urban Sustainability Series, this hands-on workshop will explore many options for growing your own food in the city. From container gardening to raised-beds, Gabriel Erde-Cohen of Green City Growers will share basic skills and tips to help you grow the most local food possible – directly from your front yard, porch, or windowsill!

We will explore:

  • Easy raised bed construction
  • Site selection for containers, pots and raised beds
  • Choosing between container gardens and raised-bed gardens
  • Deciding what plants to grow and where

Come with your questions about growing food in a container and/or small garden setting, and share your insights with fellow JP green-thumbs.

Many thanks to the Cosponsors of this event
