Organic Gardening Seminars

 

Our seminars are the quickest, easiest, most cost effective way to learn about organic gardening here in Northern Ohio.

 

At a time where people try to make every minute count — it is surprising that anyone would waste years toiling in under-productive gardens without getting some solid, credible advice.

 

Learning from years of mistakes (like many gardeners do, including myself) means years of wasted time, wasted money, frustration, and eating inferior food.

 

These seminars are not web advice or information from a book written by someone living 3 climatic zones away. The information comes from over 40 years’ experience in local organic gardening — 30 years of local nursery industry experience — over 30 years of local community gardening experience — and the most recent worldwide research about growing vegetables using the latest organic growing techniques.

 

Our proof is our results.

• We have grown tomato plants that have grown to 28 feet wide, 7 feet tall and 7 feet thick. That is 1372 cubic feet for one plant — about the interior space of 5 of the largest cargo vans on the market — and near world record size!
• Our peppers have grown to 8 feet tall.
• We have harvested over 140 sweet peppers from a single plant.
• From about 20 full size tomato plants last year, we sold hundreds of lbs. of fresh tomatoes, supplied our CSA program, and still canned 600 jars of tomato sauces.
• This is our paradigm.

If you find anyone growing bigger, healthier, more productive vegetable plants, you should attend their seminars.

 

Bigger, healthier plants not only produce more food, they produce more nutritious, better tasting food.
