Are you ready for a one-of-a-kind gardening experience? Plan to attend the Foodscape Revolution lecture and garden tour hosted by local gardening expert Brie Arthur! This is a class like no other, for beginner gardeners to well-seasoned growers. During the lecture portion of the class Brie will cover all the basics, including soil preparation, organic fertilizer, pest management, plant selection, and gorgeous combinations.

The garden tour and yard-to-table tasting will include a guided tour through Brie's home foodscape where attendees can literally get their hands dirty, ask in-the-moment questions, and taste the fruits of Brie's foodscaping efforts. Delicious beverages and snacks will be provided along with complimentary seeds and plants, because Brie just can't help herself! This is going to be an awesome experience, so plan to attend! 

This is a two-day event. Enrollment in this class assures your spot in both the Lecture held on October 7 and the Foodscaping Tour on October 14.
