Raised Garden Bed Workshop

Registration required: https://act.sierraclub.org/events/details?formcampaignid=701Po00001V9fciIAB

Gardening in the ground - like farmers do - is an ideal way to grow your vegetables and requires only a few inputs. Break up the soil, and plant some seeds! That said, raised
beds can provide many benefits! If you've ever thought about building a wooden raised bed but have been unsure of
how to start, this workshop is for you!

We will give you background information on pros & cons of different types of lumber & how to treat it for longevity, linings, soil, sizes, anticipated costs, etc. with a take-home
handout. We'll also discuss how growing in a raised bed differs from growing in-ground. We will then demonstrate an actual build. If you want to build along with us, you can
certainly do so - just reach out to us after you've registered indicating your interest and we will send out a list of required supplies and best places to purchase the necessary
materials. As for those participants who just want to learn the techniques and tips - no problem! At the end of the workshop all will receive a few plants or seeds to get started! All questions are welcome!
