Saturday, June 5 (10:30-11:30am) - Think it’s impossible to have a vegetable garden with our sandy soils, think again! Come to our Organic Vegetable Gardening workshop to learn about the importance of building up your soils, companion planting, natural pesticides and organic fertilizers that will help keep your garden veggies on the plant for you, not the bugs! We offer James Stephens’ book, Vegetable Gardening in Florida from University of Florida Press, for sale. Space is limited please call shop to register; cost for class is $7.00. . |
|
Thursday, June 10 (10:30 – 11:30 am) – Edible Landscaping: Many of us have smaller areas that we call our yards, having an edible landscape is the solution to that! You can mix flowers and vegetable plants together for the added benefit of pollinator insects being drawing in by the flowering plants and they’ll go ahead and pollinate your veggie plant flowers while they visit. Not to mention companion planting. Join us as we discuss edible landscaping. Please call the shop to register; cost for the class is $7.00. |
|
Saturday, June 12 (10:30 – 11:30 am) – Gaia’s will be offering a Butterfly Gardening Workshop – we will discuss the difference between “host/larval” plants and “nectar” plants; what plants attract what butterflies (and hummingbirds too!); the lifecycle of the butterfly; and answer any questions you may have. Cost for the class is $7.00; please call the shop to register. |
