Victory Garden Class
on Dec 31 in CSA News, Farm News by Josie
Peaceful Belly is offering a 35 week victory garden intern course. This is a hands on course. We will start with a piece of bare land and create a huge plentiful organic garden from the ground up. This garden will be the students garden to run, maintain and harvest. After this course you will have all the knowledge to grow all their own vegetable garden.
Course will include
Starting all plants from seed, composting, compost teas, building fences, creating an irrigation system, garden planning, trellising, equipment maintenance, successions planting, pest control, crop rotation, companion planting, weeding, harvesting and much more.
Course cost and benefits
The course is 35 weeks at $10 a week totaling $350 for entire course. Food produced in the garden will be shared among students. This is a huge benefit because we will produce almost every vegetable that the treasure valley can grow and a lot of it. It is kinda like joining a CSA but better.
Time commitment
The class will be for 2 to 3 hours. Also, each student is required to spend one additional hour a week in the garden doing maintenance; weeding, water and learning the secrets of the soil. Classes will start in March and go until October .
Location
Peaceful Belly will be teaching this course in two different locations. We are excited to partner with BUGS (Boise Urban Garden School) and teaching this class in their garden located on the bench. We will also be teaching this class in a farm setting at Hidden Springs Farm. You are free to choose what location works best for you.
