Is there anything more relaxing than gardening?
I say this as a person who isn’t particularly talented when it comes to plants, but it’s a peaceful hobby whether you’re good at it or not, and that’s what I love about it! Luckily for me, places like the Columbus Garden School exist.
The Columbus Garden School helps you learn practical garden skills, all while you get your hands a little dirty and reconnect with nature. The school offers fun, practical classes complete with eco-friendly gardening methods. From starting seeds to creating compost, students of the Columbus Garden School learn how to garden in a more sustainable and self-sufficient way.
Currently, Columbus Garden School is offering virtual classes over zoom. But as we head out of winter, they’ll be hosting small, in-person classes as well. Throughout the rest of January, you can take virtual classes for $15-$25. Current classes include:
Garden Guilds & Forest Garden Frameworks
Pruning Trees & Shrubs (PART 1)
Pruning – Practice (PART 2) (this one is actually in-person at CGS)
Seed-Starting for Home Gardeners
Chicken Psychology & Flock Dynamics
Home Solar Systems Basics
