Learn how to grow food in small spaces. One of the best ways to maximize a small gardening area is to use containers, pots and raised beds. These options offer flexibility and control over the growing environment, making them perfect for beginners or those with limited space. Topics covered include size, materials, suitable crops, drainage, watering and harvest.<\/p>\n
Speaker:<\/strong> In partnership with WSU Snohomish County Master Gardeners, the Growing Groceries program brings beginning and experienced gardeners together with speakers and topics focused on growing healthy food using sustainable gardening practices.<\/p>\n No matter if you only have a tiny apartment deck, small garden space, or plenty of acreage you can grow fresh, healthy food in a healthier, more environmentally friendly way.<\/p>\n Developed over the last decade, our program goal is to increase community access to fresh, healthy food by teaching the latest research-based techniques for growing food.<\/p>\n WSU Extension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination.
