Learn about Container Gardening, Straw Bale and Trellis Gardening, Raised Bed, Square Foot and Lasagna Gardening and discover which method or combination of gardening techniques you should choose. 

Leave with the knowledge of how to get started growing healthful, all-natural food in a tight space. Play with dirt and take home a starter plant after the lecture. 

The lecture and hands on program starts at 11 a.m. and will be presented by Linda Grinthal, owner of Sunset Vista Community Garden & Learning Center, Inc., a non-profit 501c3 organization located at Sunset View Farm in Andover Township.
