1st Quarter 2012 Planting ClassesHappy Spring Fellow Gardeners! Seems like it got here early this year, but regardless, we're in full swing here at Two Dog Nursery! In fact things have gotten so busy, we're going to have to limit out Class offerings to once per month. We'll schedule the Second Monday of each month, but we're also available to discuss Special Events for private parties. This year we're offering more varieties than ever before! 53 different types of Tomatoes, 12 Peppers, 4 Eggplants, 15 Lettuces, 16 Beans, 14 Squashes, etc., etc. You can see everything by clicking on the "Current Veggies" page. Now's the time to get your garden going with amazing Spring/Summer bounty, so why not plan to attend one of our fun EarthBox Planting Classes, and begin growing your own Certified Organic harvests?! Our Classes are fun, informal, and a great way to expand your gardening know-how…they’re limited to 6 participants (but usually just 2-3 attend), so bring a friend and don’t miss out! Everyone plants while standing at tables (no bending down), and each gardener has their own hose, so it’s very comfortable. We can even accommodate one Wheelchair Gardener per Class. And since we grow our own “kitchen garden” in some 25 EarthBoxes year-round, you’ll get to see lots of crops “in action” and perhaps get inspired to further add to your own! Although seedlings are invoiced separately (as no two gardeners ever want to plant the same thing), the complete Certified Organic EarthBox Kit, Organic Black Gold Soil and Organic Worm Castings ARE included in the Class price, as well as all applicable Sales Tax. We also serve yummy Refreshments from our fellow Farmers Markets vendors and send you home with a handy "parting gift". Classes run under two hours with free street parking. So reserve your spot and join the fun! Some happy students share their comments: We enjoy the class a lot, my earth boxes are happy in their new environment and I am tickle pink. Thank you so much. Looking forward to my spring planting, I feel like a pro, thanks to your classes and caring advise. — Muriel Lins, Encino, CA Hi Jo Anne! I enjoyed the organic planting class yesterday. I especially like the emphasis you put on "enriching the soil" and not merely adding plant food. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the informative class. — Judith Matz, Valley Village, CA Thank YOU Jo Ann, I really enjoyed it, I have spoken negative things over myself regarding killing plants and not having a green thumb etc, so it was very healing for me to be there. In fact I went to a composting class and bought my bin and am ready to start composting. Will I need some hand holding along the way, absolutely, but I feel must do this for me and my family :) I'm glad you have a part in it :) — Alice Muradyan, La Canada Flintridge, CA We hope to see you soon, NOTE: Local gardening friends may pay in person at the markets, or by mail. P.S. EarthBox LOVES the way we use/sell/teach in their growing kits, so they produced this “documentary short” about us! It's a fun video ... watch it here.
Thank you!
