The Central Oregon chapter of OSU Master Gardeners presents a series of free classes on how to grow your own food. There are two classes in the series, All Things Seeds and Growing Vegetables in Central Oregon. Both classes are free and will be offered in Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Madras. In each location, both classes are offered on the same day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Both classes also include the free 24-page book, Growing Vegetables in Central Oregon, published by the OSU Extension Service.
In All Things Seeds, you will learn how to select seeds for our short season, how to start the seeds successfully, how to transplant the seedlings as they grow, and when to plant your seedlings outdoors. The class also will cover how to save seeds at the end of the season, and how to clean and store them so they will be usable next season.
In Growing Vegetables in Central Oregon, you will learn how to grow your own food. Yes, you CAN have a successful vegetable garden in Central Oregon and OSU Master Gardeners will teach you how. This two-hour free class covers Central Oregon climate, soil amendments, site selection, season extenders and other techniques, and recommended vegetable varieties to grow here. Space is limited, so registration is required. To register for any of the classes, and for further details, please visit the URL listed for each class.
