Microgreen Garden

                                Indoor Grower's Guide to Gourmet Greens

WORKSHOPS 
about how to grow microgreens at home

 





Edible Houseplants: 


Homegrown Microgreens


Microgreens, the seedling stages of greens such as broccoli and basil and sunflowers, are moving from restaurant menus and into home kitchens. New to whole foods cuisine, if microgreens are new to you, you will learn how to move them into your kitchen. 


2-hour Workshops demonstrate 3 techniques for indoor gardening, discussing seeds, soil, water and light. Essentials are demonstrated for 90 minutes, then 30 minutes are devoted to sampling 20 varieties to awaken your palate and inspire your gardening. (Additional time is available for further discussion for those who wish to stay, and most people do.) You will go home with sample seeds and a pint start-up kit.


1-hour Demos are simpler and shorter, demonstrating only 1 technique for 30 minutes, then 30 minutes devoted to sampling more than 15 varieties. You will go home with sample seeds and a pint-size start-up kit.



UPCOMING WORKSHOPS & DEMOS




No workshops currently scheduled for 2022. 


I am willing to travel anywhere within CT, RI or southern MA, packing with me up to 15 varieties of living, growing microgreens, ready for harvest and sampling.


But I much prefer to provide workshops in my home in Quaker Hill, CT.
