 Has lack of space prevented you from growing your own veggies, herbs, 
 berries, and fruit? Think again! Gardening expert Darren Butler will 
 introduce innovative methods for growing edibles in spaces as small 
 as a windowsill. In two hours we'll cover container gardening, 
 growing requirements of suitable herbs and veggies, sprouts and 
 sprouting, and an intro to growing berries and fruit trees in small 
 spaces. After filling your minds and notebooks with useful and 
 sometimes surprising tips for smallscale gardening, Darren will lead 
 a hands-on activity mixing soil and planting a pot for you to take 
 home.
 
 Then you'll learn what it really means to Eat with the Seasons. 
 Natural foods chef Christy Morgan will teach you all the elements of 
 Seasonal Cooking, so you're able to take your veggies straight from 
 your patio to your plate. You'll leave this workshop with delicious, 
 cholestrol-free recipes that you're whole family will enjoy! After 
 the cooking demonstration we'll enjoy a dinner of seasonal edibles 
 that we make in class.
 
 This workshop is one-of-a-kind!

 Comments from prior students:
 
 "Darren is just so knowledgable. This is a crucial part of the 
 owner's manual for Planet Earth."
 
 "Darren is an outstanding teacher. He integrates real life to 
 gardening. He's down to earth, full of laughs and personality. His 
 enthusiasm is infectious."
 
 "Wow! The idea that so many things are just soil in another temporary 
 format is pretty powerful. Darren has thought more than any other 
 person I have ever met. The class was awesome."
 
 "I got so much out of this! Packed full of information that was 
 immediately usable to me. I love listening to this guy! He knows so 
 much and is so humble about sharing what he knows. He knocks my socks 
 off."
 
 For Christy:
 
 "I just tried the macrobiotic food you prepared for me and it is 
 absolutely delicious! Everything is so fresh – I just love it."
 
 "Eating your food is a unique experience that goes beyond the 
 physical and into the spiritual. Your private tutoring has been 
 incredibly instructive, eye-opening, and valuable. I'm better 
 prepared now not only to cook delicious meals, but to feed myself in 
 ways that help sustain the earth and its species."
