4 Sundays in Spring: March 8, 15, 22, and 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (includes 1/2 hour break). Please arrive 10-15 minutes before class starts so we can check you in and have the class start promptly. 

Small, hands-on classes, where participants learn the ins-and-outs of soil preparation, irrigation, planting, pest management, and harvesting. You will learn how to create your own edible garden for fresh, organic produce by learning how to:

• How much and how often to add compost and water
• Manage insect pests and encourage "good bugs"
• Increase yield and add variety

Classes will be held in LA Green Ground's Teaching Garden located in South Los Angeles CA 90016.
