Fall Garden Prep Class

Description

We didn’t get much of a harvest the first year.
Heavy clay. No mulch. Barely watered.

But little by little, we learned what our soil needed—and what we needed, too. One raised bed became two, then three. We added rain barrels, experimented with companion planting, learned how to feed our soil between seasons, and finally got a harvest we could be proud of.

Now we’re inviting you into the garden to share what we’ve learned—no perfection, just progress.

🌾 What to Expect:

This hands-on, two-hour class will cover:

• How to build better soil for fall planting

• Container gardening tips (including soil blends & drainage)

• Composting for beginners

• Controlling pests naturally (without harsh chemicals)

• Mulching + watering: why they matter and how to do them right

• Companion planting made simple

• What actually grows well in a Houston fall garden

You’ll also get:

• Light refreshments (cucumber water + a sourdough snack)

• A digital copy of the Fall Planting Guide from Alexander Farm & Orchard
  (Delivered by email after class. No printed materials.)
