Have you wanted to set up drip irrigation but have found the process too intimidating? Or just don’t know where to start with getting drip going in your garden? This class is for you! Join us for a morning learning about all things drip irrigation for your home garden. We will start by talking about irrigation basics and how to water best in our arid climate. The bulk of our class will be spent mapping out a drip irrigation system for an example garden and installing it with the real pieces and parts. The best part? We will use only parts that you can find at local stores, so that everything will look familiar to you at the hardware store.

Sarah has been growing food and stewarding the land for the past 14 years, with a focus on feeding her community and supporting the next generation of growers. Each season, Sarah manages our 2-acre Boulder Farm, which produces on average 10,000 pounds of organically grown vegetables every year. Her favorite thing to grow is brassicas, especially cabbage! “Food is one of the few things that we all really need. It is so foundationally important and so many of us have become so disconnected from it. Food has the power to heal ourselves and heal the earth, and I think it’s so important for folks to try to get a little bit closer to that in whatever small way they can, whether it’s growing a garden, a pot of basil on their windowsill, or talking to and shopping with local farmers.”
Growing Gardens’ mission is to enrich the lives of our community through regenerative urban agriculture
