The Humble Potato

Many home vegetable gardeners dismiss the potato from their list of crops citing their inexpensive availability and space requirements. As many of you know, home grown produce is unequalled by supermarket fare. The potato is an ancient and wildly diverse plant. We will discuss varieties, growing requirements, space saving growing techniques and each class participant will receive a small bag of seed potatoes to grow at home. Must attend the class to receive the seed potatoes, which will be distributed at the end of class. Cost: Free, but must register in advance to reserve a seat.

Notes - ~ Sign up early for classes to avoid being turned away because a class is full. All classes have limited seating. ~ MUST register in advance for ALL CLASSES, including the “Free” ones. ~ If there is a fee for the class, it must be paid at the time of registration to hold your seat. Failure to pay at the time of registration could result in your class registration being cancelled. ~ If you need to cancel your registration for a class, you must do so two (2) weeks prior to the class to receive a refund.
