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. 

 

In this session, we’ll start cool season crops like cabbage, kale, broccoli, spinach, peas, and more. We’ll also cover transplanting vs. direct seeding, seedling care, planting calendars, and how to prep your garden beds. Then we'll bake sourdough bread together and enjoy it with homemade summer fruit jams.

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

Cancellation Policy

Reservations for Merry Lea's programs can fill quickly, and quality experiences require the help of staff and advance preparation. A last minute cancellation is disruptive and may prevent a wait-listed participant from coming.

If you cancel a program that involves Merry Lea educators, you will be refunded:

  • 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.
