When the Edisons lived here, there were not any grocery stores. Their caretakers had to discover which foods could be grown in the riverside jungle. This class will discuss the South Florida seasons for growing vegetables, how to improve the soil for best results, good watering techniques, integrated pest management, companion planting, benefits of raised bed gardening and how to select vegetables for your garden.
