In the final class in this four-part series, we will circle around to what we’ve learned—planting schedules, cold and heat management, irrigation, compost, bed prep, four season harvest, etc. If you are new to these classes or missed some before, this last class will be apropos.
Half the class will be at C5 Studios and then we will move on over to the lab for the other half for hands-on in the soil. Come to class hungry, there will be fresh food from the garden in full swing. There will be an informal end with opportunity to eat together.
About the instructor:
Bruce Willey has been growing food since the dawn of agriculture. Along the way he has experienced a tad more victories than defeats that kept him motivated. He was the co-owner of Bishop Creek Farms, an organic vegetable farm here in the Owens Valley. Thinking he would be trading tomatoes for toilet paper during the Pandemic, he planted another garden in his front yard. So many evening strollers walked by the garden asking for gardening advice that he decided to teach a class, this class. His current passion is encouraging people to grow their own food, year-round in a changing climate using beyond organic techniques and methodologies. Anyone who signs up for the class will have Bruce on retainer as a gardening consultant until he composts himself.
