Want to grow flowers, veggies, herbs, even shrubs, but you have no yard or garden space? Don’t despair! If you have a patio, a porch, a few feet of dirt or cement where you can place a couple pots–even your windowsill!-you can experience the pleasures of gardening. If you already have a garden but want to expand your options or move things around without digging, this class is also for you. In this Boston Center for Adult Education class, to be held Saturday, June 5, from 10 – 2 at 122 Arlington Street in Boston, you’ll learnĂ‚Â where and how to grow the plants you’ve wanted and get ideas for new and exciting plants. Instructor Iris Weaver will cover containers, soil, feeding and disease control, varieties of plants, growing conditions, and more.
Iris Weaver is an herbalist and educator with over 30 years experience. She has an herbal business in Quincy, making and selling herbal products locally, as well as teaching classes and doing consultations. Iris is also an avid gardener, and grows many of the herbs she works with and uses in her classes. You’ll come away from this class with the basics to start your own container garden and create a little oasis in the city. $45 (BCAE members $39), plus $5 materials cost.
