12/14/2020

THE DATES ARE THE SAME BUT THE TIMES ARE DIFFERENT. ALSO, THERE IS NO HANDS-ON FOR THE PRUNING CLASS. PLEASE SEE NEW DESCRIPTION FOR THE PRUNING CLASS.
Good day,
The weather has finally cooled off and it feels as though winter is here (it was 30° this morning) although perhaps not officially. As you stay inside to keep warm why not start planning your spring garden? We are starting our Gardening in Small Places class series again in January and the first three classes will be done via Zoom.
Here are the instructions to register for the Gardening in Small Places classes:
Register for the class using the Eventbrite link below the class description.
Eventbrite will issue you a ticket. This ticket has nothing to do with Zoom and you will NOT find the Zoom link on your Eventbrite ticket.
Once you register with Eventbrite I will put your email address in a secure Listserv for the class.
On the week of the class I will send you the link to preregister with Zoom. (If you do not receive this by the Monday before the class, notify me immediately.)
You then use the link to preregister with Zoom.
Zoom will then send you a link to thte class that is unique to you. Do not share this link.
The link you receive from Zoom is your link into the class. Keep it where you will not lose it.
Closer to the class date I will send you the handouts and the day before the class I will send you the PowerPoint that accompanies the class.
On the day of the class use the Zoom link to join.
Here are the first three classes for 2021:

March 20, 2020 ZOOM CLASS Gardening in Small Places: compost 9am – 11:30 am $10
Have you heard you can’t compost in the Mojave Desert? Have you tried to compost in the desert and haven’t been successful? If you would like to be more green and reduce vegetable waste, please consider joining our compost class. When purchased in the stores, compost can be expensive. So why not make your own? If you eat fruits vegetables and throw any parts of them away, you have the beginning makings of compost. Even if you live in an apartment, you can make compost.
