Course Overview

It’s one thing to read a book or attend a talk; it’s another thing to get hands-on experience with the expert. Join Featured Instructor Joel Karsten, author of Straw Bale Gardens as he builds a straw bale garden from scratch at a local community site. As a group, you’ll condition and plant bales and get an opportunity to ask your specific questions in a small group setting. Joel will help you trouble-shoot installation and maintenance of these simple gardens. Learn to grow a pesticide-free, bountiful garden practically anywhere in this short participatory workshop, knowing that local kids will care for and benefit from your handiwork all summer long. Bring your gardening gloves!
