Salad in a Tote Workshop—July 24

Grow fresh, flavorful salad greens—right from your doorstep.

In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to grow a full salad greens garden in a simple, handled grow bag. We’ll focus on leafy crops like lettuce, spinach, and arugula—quick-growing, space-smart choices perfect for patios, porches, and small spaces.

Taught at our sister farm, The Boreal Farm, this hands-on workshop includes guided instruction, demo time, and your very own planted salad tote to take home.

Class sizes are intentionally kept small to create a dynamic, supportive learning space—where questions are welcome, guidance is personal, and you’re surrounded by others who care about growing their own food.

Whether you’re brand-new to gardening or looking for an easy, low-commitment way to grow more of your own food, this is the class to dig into.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• How to grow a salad greens garden in a single container

• Soil prep, seed spacing, and choosing the right varieties

• Tips to get the most harvest from small spaces

• How to care for and water your tote garden

• What grows well together—and what to keep separate

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• A premium, reusable grow bag with sturdy handles

• Custom mixed container soil, ready to plant

• Specially formulated organic fertilizer for leafy greens

• An assortment of salad green seeds to choose from and plant

• A printed handout to jot down notes and tips

• Personalized guidance while creating your own salad tote

You’ll leave with a planted container, the know-how to care for it, and the confidence to keep growing.

Workshop Cancellation & Refund Policy

Because our workshops are intentionally small—designed for focused, personalized learning—each spot matters. Last-minute cancellations not only impact our planning, but also limit others from attending.

• Cancel 10 or more days in advance – receive a full refund

• Cancel 7–9 days in advance – receive a 50% refund

• Cancel fewer than 7 days before class or do not attend – no refund

We understand that life happens, and we’ll do our best to accommodate emergencies or offer a transfer to a future class when possible. But due to limited class sizes and hands-on prep, these policies help us keep workshops viable—and enjoyable—for everyone.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we grow this learning space together.
