If you have been considering renovating your kitchen garden, or eager to start growing a food garden that is both beautiful and productive, this class is for you. Join Ellen Ecker Ogden to learn her six steps to successful kitchen garden design. In this class you will learn how to organize, and simplify your efforts. Starting with an overview of how a kitchen garden can be more than simply a place to grow food, you will begin with a design on paper, learn about garden beds and paths, and select the right plants for the best flavor and productivity. This is a live Zoom class, taught on a virtual platform for optimal sharing of ideas with other students. Templates are provided from Ellen’s  books (The Complete Kitchen Garden and The New Heirloom Garden, both for sale in the BBG shop) to help you formulate a working plan that fits your own landscape. Each class presents a step-by-step method to simplify and add beauty.
