What to grow organic vegetables?


The Neighborhood Farm Initiative is sponsoring a class on organic vegetable gardening. This is the garden's inaugural year- the coordinators are hoping for a good crew of volunteers and interns and a good inaugural class.


Class details:
May - September 2009

Prices:
$650/2 people or $325/person (which shares 1 plot)
$550 for one person (1 plot).

Plot info:
The price includes a 12 x 12 foot plot, access to supplies/equipment, seeds, seedling, help from staff and volunteers, and instruction every other week from May through Sept. . . and, of course, the bounty of your garden! You just need to commit to the class, tend your garden 3 hours every week, and pay for the class.

For more information, check out the Neighborhood Farm Initiative website and blog!
