Classes at the Arvada Community Garden Meetup Group

Children love plants! Some of the safest plants to have in your garden are herbs and vegetables since the most enticing parts are edible. Learn about some less recognized edible plants as well as those that bring great appeal to the senses - scents, colors, shade, textures, and the sounds of birds. Please bring a blanket to class to sit in the garden for a short mindfulness exercise at the end of class

Let's learn the basics of seed saving! Before store bought seed packets communities came together to share seeds saved from years past, keeping alive plants specifically adapted to local growing conditions. Learn the difference between hybrid seeds and heirloom varieties, which seeds are easiest to save, when seeds are ready for collecting and drying, and proper cleaning and storage techniques. To wrap things up we'll discuss what a seed library is, as well as tour the Arvada Community Garden Seed Library. Together we'll explore the importance and value of seeds!
