By beginning this series in the winter season, students will be able to gain knowledge in time for them to take advantage of the full 2025 growing season.

This 12 part course will cover all aspects of home gardening for food production as well as seed saving, perennial food forests and fruit production, eco-cooking/waste reduction, and four classes devoted to preserving the food after harvest. The first 6 weeks will be somewhat based on the Seed to Supper program, an award winning curriculum developed by Oregon State University with the goal of providing a comprehensive backyard gardening course for households on a budget. This program is followed by two independent classes: Perennials (fruits, food forests etc) and Seed Saving. The final four weeks are dedicated to preserving the harvest. Class is designed as a cohort in which a student group completes the program together. The program focuses on low cost, minimal outside inputs, labor and resource saving, high yield, and regenerative practices.

By enrolling in the 12 week program, you may take advantage of a steeply discounted rate of $140 which includes 20 packages of organic seed (valued at $70+)-this rate also includes all ticket fees. If the course fee is a financial barrier to attend, we do have a limited number of partial scholarships available--please contact for details at j.bryan-goforth@wsu.edu
