Cheap gardening classes in Brooklyn!
February 16th, 2010“Plant some plants & cultivate some cultivation!
Whether you’re growing things on a Lower East Side balcony, a Bushwick rooftop or in Greenpoint ’s oil-slicked soil, we’ve got something for you. We’ll be covering everything from container gardening to full-fledged backyard farms, beginning to end.
We’ll start with seeds, sprouts and cuttings, then as Spring moves on we’ll get to keeping your grown-up plants feeling healthy and free from pests.
Navigate the mysteries of PROPER DRAINAGE, the esoteric meanderings of the NITROGEN CYCLE, and map the hidden world of MICRONUTRIENTS. We can’t promise you tomatoes as big as your head, but that won’t stop us from trying!
some places to get excited about the spring: container gardening (from a college, so it must be right), all the heirloom seeds you can dream about, and local farms that are totally awesome–Added Value, Stone Barns, Queens Farm Museum.
Just so we’re clear!: Every class meets once a week for a month. $25 gets you four classes about screenprinting, or four classes about scents, or four classes about doing cartwheels or whatnot.
And how do you sign up?
Oh that’s easy. Just click this peculiarly-colored animal:
We only have a limited number of spots per class – about a dozen – so be sure to sign up before class fills up!
Aaaand if you want to take multiple courses but $25/each seems like way too much? Sign up for one of ‘em, then fire us an email and we can totally work something out.
