Join us at the Garden Pool for this special FREE class about the amazing Moringa plant.

The Moringa plant (Moringa Oleifera) is the most nutritious food we grow at the Garden Pool. It is a real miracle plant! It is one of the fastest growing plants around, drought tolerant, and is a complete nutrition.

Moringa trees are easy to grow and adapt well to many climates. Can be grown in sun or partial shade, container grown on a patio or green house, and even indoors by a sunny warm window. In the landscape they can grow to about 30 feet tall, but can be pruned to any shape or size. Outdoor in zone 9 or higher.

The class will focus on three parts:

  1. How to grow Moringa from seed to harvest.
  2. How to cook with Moringa
  3. Nutritional properties of Moringa

This class will be taught by both Dennis and Danielle McClung of Garden Pool. We will have plenty of organically grown Moringa plants and seeds available for those who want to start growing their own Moringa plants! Please RSVP to attend as space is limited. We will also be introducing our new indoor GP classroom!

    Excellent class, very informative and thorough! Great samples of culinary uses of Moringa, the smoothie was yummy, as was the chowder and green salad. I enjoyed the class very much and am excited to get my own Moringa trees growing!

    It looks like it is going to be a popular class. We just added more room on the RSVP list to accommodate the demand. We will also have plenty of moringa seeds and plants available for those who are interested. The proceeds from the moringa sales are going toward the Haiti project.
