Eastside Growing Groceries 2019-2020 Classes 

Master Gardeners may earn up to 25 hours of CE credits at the 2019-2020 Growing Groceries classes on the Eastside at The Grange in Issaquah. This series includes ten 2.5-hour educational classes that will run from October 2019 through May 2020 for beginning and intermediate gardeners, both Master Gardeners and the public, interested in vegetable gardening.

After covering soil preparation, garden design, and seed starting, the series will focus on the main food families, including alliums, brassicas, legumes and nightshades. The food family topics are taught coincident with their planting times. Each session will encompass topics from the principles of vegetable gardening in our maritime climate to variety selection, cultural requirements, major diseases and pests, and pest management techniques.

Instructors will be King County Master Gardeners.
