Saturday, March 13th from 10:00-2:30 (with a 1-hour lunch break)

The class will investigate the basics of gardening. Taught by Gary Oiler, a gardener for over 70 years, we will look at soil preparation and testing for nutrients and recognizing symptoms in plants for lack of nutrients. We will investigate what seeds can be saved for next year and how to select seeds from catalogs. Planting seeds for indoor growing in preparation for warm weather and garden planting will be considered, as well as how to recognize and control insects and diseases of various vegetables. Terms to be discussed will include annual, biennial, perennial, hybrid, and open pollination. Hands-on activities will include planting seeds, transplanting indoor plants, and conducting a germination test.
