Preparing for Next Season’s Harvest,” and “Planning Beautiful and Productive
Vegetable Gardens.”
Growing Sprouts and Micro-Greens Indoors
Sprouts and micro-greens are among the smallest edible plants on Earth. Rich in
vitamins and other nutritional essentials, they can help boost your immune
system to deal with the stress of the winter months. They are easy to grow
indoors right on your kitchen counter. Come and learn how to sow them, grow
them, and use them! Participants will start their own micro-green box in class
to take home.

seeds to start their own next-season harvest.
