February 29 - Seed Saving: There are lots of places to source seeds. Did you know that saving seeds, using organic seeds, and seed diversity helps our health and the health of the planet? Join us to learn more about seeds, how saving them benefits plant health, and why the ones we choose are so important. Attendees will learn about easy-to-save organic seeds, peruse seed catalogs, do some hands-on seed saving, and discuss crops that are ready to grow this spring! Participants will leave with a variety of seeds to plant at home!
March 13 - Compost: Composting has been practiced for centuries by Indigenous peoples and traditional communities and is a central component of regenerative farming and gardening. Compost’s rich mixture of microorganisms and nutrients can significantly improve soil and plant health, help combat climate change, and it has benefits for human and animal well-being. Come learn how to make compost, from start to finish. And, we’ll share the ways our farmers use agroecological practices to care for the fields and ways to apply those strategies at home. Participants will take home sifted compost to help their home garden and growing space.
March 27 - SEED STARTING: As spring is underway, it is a great time to start sowing seeds. But which seeds are best to start in this cool, wet, fickle season? In this hands-on session, we will work with a variety of organic seeds and we’ll discuss how for them as they grow. We will start some seeds to take home in trays and discuss what can be sown directly into the soil.
April 10 - COMPANION PLANTS: Here at the farm we grow different crops near one another to boost productivity, improve soil health, and control pest damage. You can learn how to improve your home garden with companion planting too. Just in time for spring planting, we’ll share what crops grow well together and explore the native three sisters gardening practice too. Together we’ll explore a variety of ways to co-plant, and get the most out of your growing space.
April 24 - GROW A SALAD: Imagine harvesting everything you need for a fresh organic salad - right from home! On this night, we will explore the seeds needed to grow a salad of one’s own, and then plant a salad to take home! Organic lettuce, spinach, arugula, mache, salad mix, kale, chard, and collards are all terrific greens to start sowing now in pots and garden beds. We will also discuss ways to grow salads and greens all year-round, and we will eat a salad together too!
May 8 - Summer Crops: With the last frost just a couple weeks away, this final session in the series will be a perfect time to establish a plan for some produce to enjoy all summer long. We’ll share sustainable gardening tips for the best soil mix, natural fertilizers, and what organic practices to employ to help your plants grow, prosper and provide a healthy harvest.. Take home some organic plants from the farm, along with your newfound knowledge of how best to care for and cultivate them!

We strive to make educational programming accessible to people of all ages and financial backgrounds. Tiered pricing allows individuals to choose the price that is right for their family, while also becoming more aware of the costs associated with putting on educational programs at the farm. This program is voluntary and individuals are free to choose the tier that best suits their financial situation. If you are able to choose a higher tier, it allows more people to access programming. Your support allows Friends of Holly Hill Farm to better utilize the charitable contributions we need to operate our non profit organization and continue with our mission of growing food for our community, educating all ages, and caring for this precious land.
Tier A: Covers cost of workshop + donation to support affordable educational workshops
Tier B: Covers the cost to run the workshop
