The second workshop will focus on Transplanting and Getting the Outside Garden Ready and will be held March 9, from 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at the Redding Public Library in the Community Room and Patio area at 1100 Parkview Av., Redding. Workshop Topics will include:

• Basic Permaculture Principles

• Organic Bed Preparation for an Amazing Harvest.

• Companion Planting

• Hardening off and Transplanting.

• How to Start Composting and Composting Demonstration

• Setting Up Irrigation for A Successful Growing Season

• Permaculture Basics

Both workshops will have three sessions of classes that last about 40 minutes each, and participants will be able to select topics for each session. There will be a $5.00 charge to cover materials and seeds at each workshop.

Master Gardeners are also sponsoring a Garden Starts Co-Op after each workshop for those who would like to participate. Participants in the Garden Starts Co-Op swap seeds or plant starts for plants/seeds that they need. For those who do not have seeds/plants to swap, Master Gardeners will also have some seeds to share with participants at both events, and the Redding Library will have seeds available from the seed library. 

For questions regarding the event, contact Leimone Waite at (530) 242-2210 or lwaite@shastacollege.edu.
