“The land is the real teacher.” – Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
By understanding our unique Hill Country ecosystems, we can become better stewards of our gardens. In this class, you will learn how to grow organic herbs through the lens of our local ecology and climate. We will explore our relationship with the land and how it shapes our ability to tend herbs in our gardens. This 5-class series will include hands-on lessons about our bioregion, seasonal growing strategies, gardening philosophies, herbal actions related to specific plants and tastes, soil building, plant care, propagation and more. Amy Crowell will teach this class on Friday mornings in Wimberley. The course will include special sessions with Ginger in her own garden, and will feature different examples of growing strategies at additional sites in the area.
