Valley Crest Farm in Lebanon will begin its season of gardening workshops with an imaginative and fun workshop on garden design on Sunday, May 20, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
The cost of the seminar is $25.
Participants will learn how to plan the garden they’ve always wanted, whether it’s their first or fortieth season. Design Your Dream Garden workshop is for anyone who is not sure where to start and who wants to create something new but is not sure of how big, audacious, or beautiful a garden can really be. Students will go through the step-by-step design process so they can create their own dream garden, from laying out a well-planned garden to calculating what plants they need for a delicious summer. After the seminar, students can participate in a question and answer session and a tour of the mini farm, at 66 Allerton Road. All levels welcome, from those planning a small first-time patch to expert gardeners looking for a backyard paradise.
The class will be conducted by educational farm manager, Anya Raskin. She holds a master’s in business and science from Rutgers University, where she specialized in horticulture and has taught numerous workshops on a wide variety of topics. “I’m excited about being able to bring my expertise of horticulture and love of teaching to Valley Crest Farm Preserve.
Additional workshops planned for the season include, Botany 101 for Gardeners; Edible Landscaping; Seed Saving and more. “It promises to be a great year at Valley Crest and I am thrilled to be part of it,” states Raskin.
