One of the things we do in the Winter is to offer our services to conduct classes and workshops on various aspects of gardening. Below are the handouts of the outlines and notes that were used to teach these classes. These notes were for classes sponsored by the Dover-Dexter Area Towns in Transition, Waldo County Cooperative Extension, and the Newport Cultural Center.
If your group would like to sponsor a similar class, or would like to suggest another subject for a class about growing food, contact tom@snakeroot.net. We’re available to teach a class or conduct a workshop from December to March each year.
Below are outlines of those.
