Program Description

Event Details

Welcome to Part One of QPL's Self-Sufficiency Series: Grow Where You Are, With What You Have

Food prices are skyrocketing, and even before prices started going up, more and more people have been interested in learning how grow their own food. Grocery store food is ladened with pesticides, fungicides, chemicals, GMOs, cancer-causing artificial coloring... most people have had enough! Want to be more self-sufficient? Follow QPL's new program series!

In part one, we will talk about the basics of beginning gardening, no matter where you are: 

  • No yard? No problem!
  • starting plants from seed vs. buying plants
  • incorporating pollinator plants
  • choosing how you want to garden (containers, in-ground, raised bed)
  • Vertical gardens

...and more.
