Gardening has sprouted plenty of fantastic websites and books, but sometimes hands-on instruction is the best. You really see where to prune that rose bush. You finally get the double-digging technique for making a garden.
Many garden centers and organizations along the Front Range offer classes. One of the best places to take classes is Harlequin’s Gardens in Boulder.
The funky place, owned by Mikl Brawner, pictured, and Eve Reshetnik-Brawner, is fixed on Front Range gardening, and offers classes in everything from edible landscaping to spring pruning to extending the gardening season. This year alone they offer nearly 30 classes.
Plan to spend $10-15 per class and you do need to register. Tomorrow, they’ll show kids ages 5-9 how to grow an organic cut-and-come-again lettuce garden in a pot.
