Grow Your Own Produce: The Workshop Series

6 pm – 8 pm PST
Grow Your Own Produce is a 10 class monthly series taught by permaculture expert Marisha Auerbach designed to help you grow a climate resilient garden that provides food from your landscape all year. Each two hour class features seasonally-relevant information about planning, growing, maintaining, and harvesting food from your own vegetable garden. Our class will help you develop adaptable low-input systems in your garden based on local resources that thrive, even with extreme weather. 2026 will be the 13th year of the workshop series!
Each month’s class is designed to help you maximize your efforts, and subsequent yields in the garden by providing an overview of key activities to engage in at the right time each month. We meet from February through November, on the first Wednesday of each month, on Zoom. Before the class meeting, participants will receive a collection of handouts supporting the key topics for the month, including a garden checklist for the month ahead. We will discuss different subjects pertinent to the garden that month, using slides and the month’s handouts as reference. There will be ample time during the class for questions. A few days after each session, participants will receive the recording of the class and PDF of the slides. Students are invited to submit photographs and questions from their gardens, to be addressed at the next class.
Marisha Auerbach has spent many years observing and interacting with her gardens, and in the gardens of the greater Pacific Northwest bioregion. She has been growing most of her own produce year ‘round for over the past decade. To learn more about Marisha, please visit her bio page.
