What is this session about?
This seminar is perfect for the upcoming season and focuses on the basics of home gardening. You don’t need a large garden to get started. We will introduce options that can be done indoors or on a balcony, so if you’re interested but unsure of how to begin, this seminar will provide the information you need to get started.
In this seminar, we will cover the following topics with live demonstrations:
- How to start : Choosing the right tools and soil
- Easy-to-grow plants
- Vegetables and herbs perfect for spring
- Live demonstration: How to sow seeds and plant seedlings
- How to care for your plants and the watering techniques
- Q&A session
Why not experience the joy and satisfaction of growing plants and vegetables? We look forward to your participation!
