Classes

This year we are fortunate to have the assistance of the Roanoke Master Gardeners give presentations and/or hands on instructions each month.  We have a number of beginners to experienced gardeners who are always on the look out for new tricks or tidbits of knowledge.  Check out the information below and come out and join us.   

If the weather is a problem, we will go inside the Salem Presbyterian Church to have the class.

End the season the right way and set your garden up for success next year. Learn which plants to remove, how to compost garden debris, and how to protect and improve soil over winter.
