| You don’t have to own a farm to be a farmer! Tina Lupiezowiec, owner of Goin’ Lupi and eccentric urban farmer will demonstrate how anybody living anywhere can grow fresh food naturally and sustainably right in their own backyard. Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, this class will cover topics from gardening basics and raised bed construction to composting tips and tricks, rainwater collection systems, and companion planting and interplanting techniques to naturally attract beneficial insects to your gardens and foster complementary relationships between neighboring plants. |
