Join us for a yearlong gardening experience where participants will learn everything from garden planning and fall prep to seed sourcing, bed layout, plant care, harvesting, food prep and more. Come to the whole series or choose which classes you would like to join. Help us grow our local food web and build community while working together in this immersive experience. 

 

The first session in this series is for anyone, whether you already have a garden, want one, or have never gardened before. It’s a space to learn together, share knowledge, and explore the world of gardening and food preservation. We will guide you through the process of designing a garden that works for your space as well as what foods you and your family will actually eat. We’ll wrap up with a simple meal made with fresh ingredients harvested from our fall garden.

This program is intended for adults and no experience is needed! Pre-registration is required. 


Location: Rieth Village / Merry Lea Teaching Farm  |  4415 W 200 S, Albion, IN 46701

  • A full refund if participant cancels one week prior to a program
  • A 50% refund if participant cancels from six days to 24 hours before a program
  • No refund if participant cancels less than 24 hours prior to a program

If Merry Lea cancels a program (due to dangerous weather, low enrollment or unforeseen emergencies) a full refund will be issued.
*Please note: refunds are issued through the Goshen College accounting office, and may take up to 3 weeks to process.
