OMG! – It’s Organic Modular Gardening!

Saturday April 17, 2010  10am – 2pm at the Eco Industrial Park, 220 Lorax Lane,  Pittsboro, NC.  For directions, click here.

Learn how to construct your own modular container gardens with readily available materials, much of it recycled!

These containers provide a bounty of food in a minimum of space, and can be placed on top of any stable surface – concrete, gravel, grass, you name it. This method rolls together the best of Square Foot Gardening, Bio-Intensive methods, and Four Season gardening, so it’s easy, organic, and productive.

We will be constructing two modular gardens at the workshop,so this will be hands-on learning.  You can also order your own containers for only $10.

Instructor Bob Armantrout teaches:

• Basic principles
• Sourcing materials and constructing the garden
• Garden layout and maintenance
• Season extension
