Class Capacity 12
When most of the country is packing up their garden supplies for the season we are just getting started here in the desert in one of our favorite growing seasons! Fall is a special time to garden in Tucson where we can grow all the cooler weather crops with ease. Learn which edible and native crops do best in cool climates and how and when to get them all started. Participants will get to plant and take home their own seed tray with instructions to care for their seedlings at home.
