Don't miss this excellent overview of how to get your fall vegetable garden growing and producing. Whether you are just starting your plot, or have an established one you are looking to improve, this class will offer information on soil conditioning, what to plant through the cool season, pest management and more. After the class, visit our onsite Vegetable Display Garden and NHG Organic Market Garden to see vegetable growing on site, chickens and more. Free.

Come share vegan recipes, good vegan food, and good veg company on the 4th Saturday of each month.
