Planning the Garden: A Self-Paced Workshop on CD

Developed and Presented by Diane Green 2011

How to Order / What People Say About the Planning the Garden CD

My purpose of producing this workshop was to share information with you about planning the garden when you most need it and outline it in such a way that you don’t have to read an entire book to figure out what you need to do to plan for a successful gardening season.

Anyone can grow a vegetable garden, but to grow one extremely well, you need to plan ahead. If you think about it, most of the things that we do successfully, we take the time to plan for it. We make lists, we outline what we want to do, we figure out how much time it will take, how much it will cost, we assess the process, then we move forward to make it happen. This workshop will hopefully help you plan for a successful gardening season!

The self-paced Planning the Garden workshop on CD provides the specific information you need to plan for the growing season to include: Seed selection, how much to grow, ordering from seed catalogs and buying seeds, how to make a garden map, companion planting, crop rotation, deciding on direct seeds vs. transplants, creating a seeding and planting calendar, succession planting and season extension techniques. I have taught this workshop on the farm every spring since 1995 and typically teach this session in person much later in the season than it is preferred for planning the garden.

We are starting out with the sale of this self-paced workshop on a CD. The CD is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Mac users may need to download Power Point Viewer.

If the interest is there, we will look into creating a downloadable format for purchase. If you have an interest in purchasing a download instead of a CD, please email us and let us know. This is a new endeavor for us, so we want to see what the need is before we go through the expense and time invested to make downloads available. If there is an interest, we will work on developing that! When an order is placed using Pay Pal, we will ship within 24 hours of receiving notice of your request.

What People Say About the Planning the Garden CD

“Your hot off the press resource CD arrived today, and I am really impressed and excited. I feel that it is exactly what anybody with a passion, some understanding but perhaps lacking in confidence (like me!), would be looking for when embarking on the first steps to home produce and self sufficiency.  As an educator, I think the level and tone is perfect. Starts with the basics so people feel comfortable, and upping the level as it goes through.”
    ~ Leroy / Padstow, Cornwall U.K.

“Thank you for making this, it has been educational and brought up quite a few things that I never thought of before.  I am sure this will help me make a better garden this year!”
    ~ Julie / Tahoe City, CA

“I gave the CD that I bought from you to the people that are developing a community garden with me.  We went through the workshop together as a group and we will all be better gardeners because of your willingness to share your knowledge.  It’s great! Thanks!”
    ~ Jenny / Tacoma, Washington

“Even though I’ve been gardening for many years, this was very informative.  Thank you for making this available.”
