Are you relatively new at gardening? Would you like to learn a bit more that might help you in your home garden? We will focus on care and maintenance of tomatoes, from transplanting methods, to trellising and harvesting. This workshop will include an overview of the basic needs of plants for at home gardening, including when to plant which crops, watering needs at different stages of development, and an overview of different common crop health problems and solutions.

They’ve managed a small scale urban garden in Columbus for the past seven years with other community members, where all the food is exchanged for free. She learned how to farm on a large scale at an apprenticeship in Pescadero, CA. In addition to farming, they work with a coalition committed to ending state-sanctioned violence against communities.

Using leaves, water, vinegar, and rusty nails, learn how to transfer the images of leaves directly onto watercolor paper.
