How to Grow Organic Fruits and Vegetables on a Small Neighborhood Lot


This presentation will show creative techniques for growing organic fruits and vegetables in your small yard. Utilizing a mixture of flowers, vegetables (such as lettuces, beets, carrots) fruit trees and bushes you can grow an amazing amount of produce in as little as 200 square feet (10x20) tucked in along the side of the house or in flower beds in the front yard. We will explore soil development and fertilization, sun exposure, plant varieties, pest control, and support structures. We will also discover the role honeybees and mason bees play in the garden. Come prepared for a hands on experience. Bring along a simple layout of your yard that we can use to help you plan your garden.
