2026 Garden Planning Workshop

📍Mishawaka–Penn Public Library — Eisen Room

This workshop is for gardeners who already grow food or flowers and want to go into the 2026 season with a clearer, more intentional plan. You’ll leave with a complete, personalized layout for your own beds — not just general advice.

If you’ve gardened before but felt like your beds were overcrowded, scattered, or not as productive or beautiful as you hoped, this class is for you.

This is not a beginner gardening class. We will not be covering how to build beds, start seeds, or choose soil. This is a hands-on planning workshop focused on organizing and improving what you already grow.

In this 2.5 hour workshop we’ll cover:

• How to evaluate and map your existing garden beds

• How to think through crop placement, spacing, and rotation

• How to choose what to grow more of — and what to let go

• How to build a realistic plan that fits your time, energy, and goals

You’ll leave with:

• A clearer layout for your 2026 beds

• A smarter way to use your space

• A plan that helps avoid overcrowding, stress, and wasted effort

What to bring:

Please come with the dimensions of your garden beds (raised beds, in-ground beds, or containers) and, if you have them, photos of your garden. This will allow you to create a personalized plan during the workshop.
