Bonsai Basics               Robert Cho of Asia Pacific Gardening

Let Robert Cho introduce you to the wonderful art of bonsai.  These living sculptures are surprisingly easy to create or maintain once you master a few basic techniques and learn how to work with your tree’s natural growth habits.  Robert will cover what you need to know to create and care for your bonsai.

Indoor Seed Starting       Emily Wilkins  

By growing your own plant starts, you can save money, choose from more varieties, and have your plants ready exactly when you need them. Emily will cover when, how, and why to start your own transplants.  A full line of seed starting supplies, from peat pots to heating mats to mini greenhouses, will be available for purchase.

City Chickens 101             Diana Ambauen-Meade of Scratch and Peck

The founder of Scratch and Peck, makers of locally produced non-GMO chicken feed, tells you everything you need to know about raising chickens in your own back yard.  What you’ll need to get started, how to pick a breed suitable for your situation (is a people-friendly disposition or high egg production your biggest concern?), what to expect of your birds, what to feed them in different life stages….  Bring your questions!
