Sheila Carroll will teach us how to effectively plan and prepare a raised bed garden during the winter months. She will guide us through essential steps to ensure our garden is ready for planting when spring arrives. We will learn how to design a garden layout, choose the best heirloom and non-GMO seeds, and create a planting calendar that aligns with our local growing conditions. In addition to practical tips, Sheila will also delve into soil enrichment strategies, such as how to source and prepare organic compost and fertilizers during the winter months. This class emphasizes the importance of early planning to maximize yields and maintain a sustainable, chemical-free garden. (A follow-up class will be held in the Spring Term.) Sheila Carroll is an author and gardening enthusiast. She provides a simple, earth-wise approach to cultivating a beautiful garden and more sustainable living. Her book, Organic Raised Bed Gardening: Seven Easy Steps to a Sustainable, Low-Stress, and Chemical-Free Backyard Harvest of Vegetables, Herbs, and Flowers, is a top pick on Amazon for backyard and container gardening.
