Workshops


Growcology has been making some exciting progress. Tonight we attended a class on edible landscaping by Darren Butler. There were dozens of attendees, ranging in age from 18 to 80. Many were Master Gardeners.

Darren, founder of Eco Workshops.com, spoke about edible forests, permaculture, and addressed many detailed questions from an engaged audience. He gave pointers on issues from observing and planning your garden to getting rid of gophers and crabgrass (unfortunately, neither is easy).

We're planning on having hands-on workshops with Darren and inspiring instructors like him at our center in Riverside, CA over the next few months. We'll learn along with you as they demonstrate concepts like double-digging, sheet mulching, companion planting, permaculture species guilds, vegetable farming, tabletop gardening and propagation, organically rooting cuttings, chop and drop composting, and more. We'll be documenting as we're learning, and sharing all the information on Growcology.com.

Stay tuned!
