If you are wondering about specific plants, wanting to know what type of seeds are best, trying to figure out what fertilizers and soil to use, want to get started vegetable gardening, then this is the time for you!

Join Mike, our resident grower, for approximately a 1-hour class on vegetable gardening.  He has a BS in Horticulture from Purdue University and has been a co-owner of Tuttle Orchards since 1982.  Since becoming a co-owner, Mike has greatly expanded the vegetable production at Tuttle Orchards and is offering his wisdom during this workshop. 

This workshop will cover the following topics:

• Garden site selection


• Soil preparation


• Seed/plant selection


• Timing of seeding/planting


• Transplanting


• Crop Rotation


• Question and Answer Period

The 101 Workshop is focused more for new gardeners.  We are also offering a 201 Workshop, which is for people who have had a garden before, but want to dig deeper.
