Class will help Ocoee residents get garden savvy
Ocoee green thumbs and those who just want to find out how they can get the most from a small space garden are invited to a workshop in Winter Garden that has been planned with them in mind.
Participants in the class will be taught how to use Square Foot Gardening techniques. The system, which was developed by Mel Bartholomew, will give people the skills they need to turn a 4 x 4-foot space into source of fresh vegetables, herbs, or flowers for their family. To do this, the space is divided into plots of one square foot where one specific type of plant is grown. This helps to make gardening easier and make maximum use of the area.
The cost to take part in the class is $5 per household, and those who are interested are asked to pay the nonrefundable fee when they preregister. A print company can produce a variety of materials giving further details about urban gardening that can be distributed to those who participate in a workshop such as this.
The Basics of Square Foot Gardening workshop has been scheduled for the Jessie Brock Community Center in Winter Garden on November 10. It will run from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm.
More details about the information session, and an opportunity to sign up to participate, can be found on its Eventbrite page.
