Organic straw bale gardening is more than just a gardening technique; it’s a sustainable and eco-conscious approach to cultivating your favorite plants. This method harnesses the power of decomposition and composting to create a rich, fertile environment for plants to thrive. Straw bales, usually considered waste, are repurposed into dynamic, living planting beds.

Betty Clark, with her extensive experience in gardening, will guide participants through the process of creating a straw bale garden. From selecting the right straw bales to preparing them for planting, she will cover all aspects of this innovative technique. Participants can expect to gain a deep understanding of the method and the skills needed to start their own straw bale gardens.
