Description: Join us to learn how to start growing vegetables without getting overwhelmed. What are the “easy” vegetables to grow? How do you pick healthy plants from the garden center? What should we be observing in our gardens? All these questions, and many more, will be answered to help you maximize early successes, learn by doing, and have fun growing vegetables.

This part of our 2025 Beginning Gardener Series. If you are just starting as a gardener or need some tips to improve your basic gardening skills, you’re sure to gain some great information. Watch for other topics in this series in May and October. You do not need to attend all the workshops in the series, each will stand alone.
