Gardener for Life begins August 8th and includes 15 classes over 11 months. You will learn in community with other JGP gardeners, soil experts, nutritionists, chefs, gardeners and more. In 1-3 classes per month plus our online community page, you will have the support you’ve always wanted to attain the garden and personal health of your dreams.
This year long garden education program is going to give you a foundation in planning, growing, harvesting, nurturing, preparing and preserving food for yourself and your family.
In the garden we will work with Master Compost/Soil Builders, The Garden Hotline, and the Maritime NW Growing Guide. In the Kitchen we will work with local chefs and nutrition coaches and nurses to get the most out of our garden for our health.
