Our policy for workshops this year is to hold all classes outdoors to reduce the chances for Covid 19 spread. The weather for Saturday is looking to be inhospitable for an outdoor event. We have decided to move the workshop to an online zoom event. At the moment our participant numbers are low and we would like to make a decision by Wednesday if the class will make or not. If the class does not make, we will refund any payments, but if this decision changes your mind to attend, please sign up today.

Are you new to gardening or looking to brush up on some basic skills? Join SixTwelve as we share tried and true steps to growing a productive vegetable garden, in Central Oklahoma, using organic and sustainable methods. The information applies to containers as well as raised bed and in-ground gardens. While vegetables will be our focus, this class applies to herb, flowers and some fruit gardening as well.

Topics Include:
• Building healthy soil for healthy plants
• What to plant when in our climate and gardening through the year in OKC
• An overview of sustainable pest and problem management

The class will be a combination of information shared indoors via slides and outdoors in the garden.

$30 for non-members, $15 for members.
