CLASSES FROM THE PAST!!

Howdy Folks,
Sugar Creek Farm is happy to announce the dates for the Sixth Annual Organic Gardening Intensive, 2010. The class will begin on Saturday, April 10th, meeting six consecutive Saturdays and ending on May 15th. Class time is from 10 am to 2 pm with an hour break to eat lunch, socialize and wonder around the picturesque Sugar Creek Farm. This schedule allows us to cultivate both spring and summer plants in the greenhouse. Same as last year, we will be starting an entire greenhouse full of plants together, which you will be taking home to plant in your gardens as they become ready. I definitely got a bit carried with the seed order for this year's class; 85 varieties!! And this doesn't even include the varieties that we saved seed from last year. Check out the very end of this blog for the list. Absolutely nothing beats grow your own food! Please read on for more info on the class:
