Veggie Basics Graduation Class 2012!

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.
