Backyard Gardening 101 at the Cardiff Tiny Farm

Ready to grow your own food but not sure where to start? Join us for an immersive 3-part workshop series at Cardiff Tiny Farm designed to give you the skills, confidence, and inspiration to start your own backyard garden—no matter your experience level or space.

Over the course of three Sunday sessions, you’ll learn the full cycle of growing—from choosing the best garden site and building beds, to installing irrigation, starting seeds, and planning harvests across the seasons. Each class includes hands-on activities, take-home resources, plenty of time for questions over a freshly prepared farm-to-table lunch.

• Part 1: Garden Planning + Bed BuildingLearn how to evaluate your space, choose a garden site, and build raised beds or in-ground rows.

• Part 2: Irrigation + Soil + SeedingGet your hands in the dirt—learn about healthy soil, lay down simple irrigation, and start your first seeds.

• Part 3: Planting, Harvesting + Seasonal PlanningLearn how to plant for success, stagger your harvests, and plan for a thriving garden year-round.

• Practical skills to start or level-up your home garden
• Resources and guides to get you started
• Seed packets to get you started
