Classes

We are charging a minimum $5 fee for all classes to discourage no-shows. To register and pay the fee you follow the registration link after the class description.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our classes will be offered on-line using a cloud-based service, WebEx. You will be sent an email containing a link that will allow you to join the online class ten minutes before the session begins. To assure that the class is not interrupted with unwanted noise, we ask that you mute your microphone until you wish to ask a question or make a comment at the end of the class. Since this is the first time we are attempting to hold classes online, we ask for your understanding and goodwill as we undertake this adventure.

Cancelled: Vertical Gardening - Overview [part 1 of 2]

Cancelled 

Vertical gardening involves the use of vertical support systems designed to grow individual plants vertically rather than horizontally.  It is  a niche that evolved out of gardening in small spaces either by design or necessity as in urban settings. Two topics will be covered: (1) Small-Scale Vertical Garden designs that are often implemented by necessity in small gardens among urban dwellers, and those adopted in large gardens as part of a particular featured gardenscape. We will look at simple to complex vertical support systems for small-space gardening. (2) Very Large-Scale Vertical Garden designs like garden walls and facades of buildings, vertical farms, the Garden in the Sky found in modern cities like Singapore, Hong Kong and other places as part of government policy on ecology entertainment. The class will be taught by Master Gardener and Project Grow Board member Joet Reoma.
Registration Fee: $10. 
Here is the Registration page for Part 1.

Note:  Part 2 of 2 scheduled for March 17, 2018.  Registration Fee: $10.
