Spring is coming, we promise! Be ready with East Hill Edible Gardening’s class “Spring and Summer Vegetable Gardening”. Our next offering of this class is Wednesday evening, February 27th from 6-8.

We’ll also be talking about a selection of less common vegetables like Malabar spinach, tomatillos, yard long beans, and roselle.

In addition, we’ll show you how to choose the best vegetables to grow and when to grow them so that you can continue to have fresh and healthy vegetables through even the hottest part of the year.

Fall and winter are fantastic times to garden in Pensacola! Temperatures are cooler, pests and diseases are at their minimum, and our mild winters allow for a bountiful harvest even during the coldest times of year. With the heat and humidity of summer behind us, it’s also a great time of year to be in the garden!

In our “All About Vegetables: Fall and Winter” class, we’ll explore in detail how and when to grow specific vegetables that thrive in our fall and winter seasons including: lettuce, carrots, onions, chard, cauliflower, dill, broccoli, cabbage, garlic, English peas, endive, radicchio, cilantro, fennel, mustard, turnips, beets, radishes, Asian greens, collards, fava beans, kohlrabi, spinach, Brussels sprouts, parsley, kale, arugula and more.

Choose one of these times:
– Tuesday morning, Sept. 19th – 9:00 – 11:00 am
– Thursday evening, Sept. 21st – 6:00 – 8:00 pm

The cost for this two-hour class is $25 if you register through Friday, Sept. 15th – after that the cost is $30. To reserve your spot, please contact the Vickrey Community Center (where the classes are held) at 850-912-4056 ext 1.
