Miracle Grow

Organic Gardening Classes

Geez. One little embarrassing incident involving a poppy seed muffin, and suddenly every seed on the planet is your sworn enemy.

Maybe you just need a proper reintroduction — like Tara Kolla’s series of sustainable living workshops at Silver Lake Farms.

Known for her flowers at farmers markets around town, Kolla kicks things off this Sunday with Introduction to Organic Gardening, where you’ll learn to grow organic blossoms and veggies at home.

In the coming weeks, the garden goddess’s half-acre property will host groups of twelve as they dig into topics like local viticulture, canning and preserving, and water-conserving landscapes. A kids class is in the works, too.

But whatever the theme, each session is hands-on. So prepare to roll up your sleeves and get dirty.

Because everyone knows it’s not easy being green.
