ADD-ONS AVAILABLE
Seeds (+$25): Kali has carefully selected Florida-friendly cut flowers that are tried and true to our region. This seed collection will be more than enough for a 4x8 garden bed.
Plugs (+$90): Plugs are basically seedlings, or baby plants. This is a great option if you are a newb gardener, or just want to get a head start on your planting. These plugs will be in soil blocks and will look like little dirt brownies with a baby plant in them. They will be ready to transplant when you receive them. This plug collection will be more than enough for a 4x8 garden bed. Please bring a baking dish to transport the plugs to your garden.
PAY WHAT YOU CAN
Suggested price of $35/person. I ask that you pay for participation in the class according to your ability at this time.
