MARCH AND APRIL CLASSES AT THE GARDEN

Sunday, March 30 3:00 to 4:30pm
Big Gardens In Small Spaces: Container Gardening
Please join us for the first class of 2014 with Lori Caldwell, certified Master Gardner Composter and a favorite teacher at the Community Garden. If you have small space or want to grow your own food without being overwhelmed by a big garden, this is the class for you.

Topics such as types of containers, maintaining soil fertility, best plants for container gardens, proper watering and crop rotation will be covered. It's a great way to start a garden or add on to maximize your existing garden possibilities.

We have scheduled this class for March so you'll be able to get your containers ready for spring.


April 5, 11:30 to 12:30
Eggstravaganza!
Eggs are an age-old symbol of springtime and renewal.

Come explore the cultural traditions of egg decoration as we learn about eggs and life cycles. Meet our garden chickens who are now laying eggs. Egg hunting and decoration will follow a library story hour.

This is a Lafayette Library and Community Garden collaboration.


April 26, 1 to 4pm
Growing Herbs For Teas
Come join us learn how to grow, harvest, store and make teas grown in your own garden and receive a 4-pack of herbs.

Hollie Lucas-Alcalay of Hollie’s Homegrown in Moraga has made her own herb farm into a thriving business and will share with us her expertise and passion for herbs. Sample and savor herbal teas made from local herbs and take home a sampling of seedlings to help you get started.

The class will be held at the Lafayette Community Garden and Outdoor Learning Center and is a special fundraising event so a $40 donation is suggested.


We'll meet rain or shine at the Lafayette Community Garden on Mt Diablo Boulevard across from the Lafayette Reservoir. For regular classes, a $5 donation per person to support our education programs is appreciated, but not required.
