KFNA’s Veggie Basics Graduation Class
Filed Under garden, green, health and wellness | Leave a Comment
In collaboration with Minnesota State Horticultural Society and the University of MN Extension Master Gardener Program in Hennepin County, the Kingfield Neighborhood Association Community Gardening Group offered a 5-week class on vegetable gardening. Thirty neighbors from 6 different neighborhoods participated, and almost half of these were self-declared as low-income, a priority for placement in the class. The classes were comprised of lectures and hands-on demonstrations and participants received a certificate (and a tomato plant!) upon completion of the class if they attended 4 of the 5 classes.
