Class description:
Join us for an interactive and hands-on class designed to equip gardeners with essential organic gardening techniques for a thriving, healthy landscape. We’ll demonstrate how to make compost tea—a powerful tool for feeding the soil, nourishing plants, reducing
transplant shock, and combating fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Beyond compost tea, we’ll dive into real organic practices such as topdressing with compost and amending soil with simple, effective inputs like kelp, fishbone meal, and worm castings (including
your favorite DTE products). Our goal is to empower you with practical knowledge and quality products to support truly organic gardening. Perfect for those growing vegetables, fruits, flowers, or maintaining a beautiful landscape, this class is specifically
tailored to West Seattle’s unique environment—where mindful fertilizing and runoff management are essential for protecting local waterways and surrounding nature. Come ready to learn, get your hands dirty, and leave with the confidence to cultivate a thriving
organic garden! Questions?
