If you are an expert gardener, a novice gardener or even a non-gardener, the Seattle Tilth has some perfect classes for you. I’m a super fan of the Seattle Tilth because they truly help gardeners and homesteaders at any and every level. Right now they are ready to show you how to take advantage of the fall season in your garden. Plus, when you attend their upcoming lineup of classes, they’ll teach you how to make pickles or forage for edible weeds. Love it! They’ve added a whole slew of cool new classes this fall, and here are just a few that caught my eye:

I not only love Seattle Tilth’s classes, but their whole organization. I’ve been to their Urban Farm and Chicken Coop tour and I never miss their plant sale every year. They’re awesome! So if you’ve never taken a class like this, trust me when I say they’re totally worth it.
Peace out,
