Very Easy Gardening

@ Brookview Community Center

Have you always wanted to start a garden but were afraid it would be too much work? Or just didn’t know how to start? Join the Golden Valley Garden Club for this fun and informative series for new (or returning) gardeners. We’ll take you step-by-step from planning to planting and harvesting a new flower and/or vegetable garden, and show you easier ways to prepare and maintain your garden. It’s true—modern gardening takes much less work! Plan to attend both sessions. You’ll use what you learn in the first session to draw up a rough plan; we’ll help you refine it in the second session. Classes are FREE but pre-registration is required. Contact the Golden Valley Garden Club (gardenclubgv@yahoo.com) to sign-up and/or for questions. Bring the kids and turn your garden into a family project!
