The beginning of fall often comes with the end of outdoor garden season. However, growing your own food can continue indoors throughout fall and winter. This workshop is focused on giving you some tips on how to set up growing indoors, the variety of vegetables to plant, what soil and compost mix to use (to avoid & minimize pest), watering your plants, etc. Growing indoors is tricky yet simple and inexpensive. The most important things you need to grow indoors are soil, seeds, water, and light. Let's get growing!
