Get your hands in the dirt!

The Farm’s partnered up with Georgia Southern to help host a series of classes and “lab sessions” on organic gardening skills and know-how.  Taught by Kelly Locamy, Master Gardener and Director of the Savannah Urban Garden Alliance (SUGA), this program is a good opportunity for all Farmers to add to their farming expertise.

Learn about soil biology…composting…seed starting techniques…how to handle pests…how to develop good compost…and so much more!  Along with several Farmers, Organic Coordinator, Janet Waldie will be taking part in the course as well…so the Farm will be well represented!

There are two courses – on Saturdays from 8 am-12 noon:

  1. Organic Gardening Fundamentals – Feb 11, 25 and March 3
  2. Advanced Techniques – March 10, 24, 31

After finishing Course 1, you are encouraged to take Course 2 to further your knowledge.

Each course cost $125 per person, $220 per couple.  You can register online at http://ceps.georgiasouthern.edu/conted/organicgardening.html Questions?   Call 912.644-5967 for more information. (1/16/12)
