As the earth begins to stir, it's time to wake up our gardens - but not too soon! Waiting until the right time helps protect beneficial insects overwintering in plant stalks and leaf litter. This hands-on workshop will guide you through key early spring tasks to set the stage for a thriving season ahead.

🌿What You’ll Learn:

Preparing Your Garden for Spring – Assess soil health, amend beds for optimal fertility, and wake up the garden using regenerative practices that support long-term resilience.

Early Spring Planting – Discover which herbs, flowers, and vegetables can be sown in the cool early days of spring and get hands-on experience planting early crops.

Dividing & Pruning Perennials – Many perennial herbs and flowers benefit from spring pruning and division—learn the best techniques to encourage vigorous growth.

Composting & Soil Regeneration – Explore composting techniques and learn how to make and use compost teas to boost microbial activity and nourish your plants naturally.

Integrative Pest Management – Get ahead of common garden pests with natural pest management strategies, companion planting, and habitat support to create a balanced ecosystem.

Cultivating Weeds as Allies – Some of the most powerful springtime greens—like nettles—are often overlooked! Learn how to identify, harvest, and use them for food and medicine.
