Discover the joy and immense nutritional value of growing your own microgreens. In the class, students will learn the terms associated with growing microgreens, the equipment needed, where to source seed and how to record growing data. We will talk about options for small scale to larger scale grows. Students will learn strategies to overcome the challenges of growing microgreens indoors. At the end of class, students will feel comfortable growing microgreens at home for themselves as well as for others. The knowledge you will take home will equip you with healthy practices to grow food sustainably.
All are welcome – WEI classes are open to everyone.
