WORM FARMING: Participants learn why worms are so important to our soil, how to maintain a healthy worm farm, what worms eat, how to set up the worm farm, how to feed their worms, and how to use the casting and the juice to grow the healthiest food.

No Dig Gardening Participants learn how to build their own food garden, using a no dig system that over the seasons is just built upon; layer upon layer.

A kitchen Garden is ideal for those who want to grow herbs and easy to grow vegetables is a small space.

Sprouting is easy and fun, learn how to grow many different types of seeds, 100% nutrition value.  There are more ways to use sprouts than to just eat them raw.
