March 21 | Seed Starting, Compost + Fridge Forage Class

In this class we will learn how to start seeds - from how to source seeds, to what soil to use, and all of the other bits you'll need. Each student will start 6 tomato plants (with the hope that at least 4 germinate!), as well as make 2L of seed starting mix to take home to start other plants later in the season. We will talk through backyard composting in detail - what you need, how to start one, and how to use your finished compost. We'll spend time in the workshop too, cooking in one of my favourite ways -- fridge forage meals. You know those bits and bobs that you have in the fridge, perhaps leftovers that need to be re-made into something new, or a bit of this and a bit of that, we'll talk about how to use up every last bit creating recipes with what you likely have in your fridge. Think of it as a push your food dollars class mixed with a meal prep class and a class to showcase the bits that otherwise might end up in the bin. Included in this hands on class is an extensive recipe pack with bonus recipes, a how to backyard compost booklet and notes on seed starting, along with dinner with wine. Each student will go home with 2L of seed starting mix, a 6 pack with their tomato seeds to nurture and eventually plant in their garden!
