Seed to Supper program to be offered in Fayette County
Fayette County Penn State Extension Master Gardeners are offering the free Seed to Supper program for county residents.
Seed to Supper is a comprehensive beginning gardening program that provides novice and adult gardeners the tools and education they need to learn how to successfully grow a portion of their own food on a limited budget. It also educates the experienced gardener on some of the sciences of gardening.
Classes cover vegetable gardening fundamentals: soil preparation, garden planning, maintenance and harvesting. At completion of the class participants will be able to start a raised bed, in-ground vegetable garden, or container gardens. Participants commit to attending all classes in the series. The program is free with course books and other supplies provided to all participants at no charge. Each course includes six, two-hour long sessions held at the same time each week for six consecutive weeks.
