We're teaching how to build simple greenhouse structures, folks!

This class will familiarize you with the many options for providing heat and shelter for starting plants as well as growing plants in a greenhouse or cold frame.  Beginning with a simple "cold frame" and building up to more sophisticated structures, basic building techniques and materials will be presented.  Many kits will be reviewed as well as ways to build a substantial greenhouse from inexpensive materials you can get from a local lumber yard or recycle yard.   Aspects such as finding the right site, venting, heating and cooling, as well as basic layout of the structure will be presented in a way that is comfortable for the non-builder or adventurous gardener. 

Our instructor for this workshop is Thomas Wittman.  He has been building greenhouses and garden structures for over thirty years on his own farm, the UCSC Arboretum and The Farm and Garden Project as well as privately contracted installations.

ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Class Date:  December 19, 2010 (Sunday) 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Tuition: $49
