Dive into the exciting world of edible gardening this spring, and learn everything you need to know to successfully grow your own organic, nutrient-dense food in any urban space – big or small!

In this hands-on learning series, BEAU Gardens Coach, Mirna Fox will walk you through a detailed process to confidently:

  • Map-out and install your edible garden in your available outdoor space
  • Select the right growing system and choose quality soil, plants, seeds
  • Design a customized planting plan and determine what you will grow and when
  • Start growing edible plants from seed indoors for best results outdoors
