For the month of February we gathered local business owners and organizations to give classes on how to cook with your garden harvest. We had four amazing events that featured Companion Planting for Salsa and Sauce Gardens, Cooking with Oyster Mushrooms, Ayurvedic (Intentional) Cooking, and a Nopal Workshop. Each class used a portion of our garden to plant, harvest or demonstrate their curriculum. We had an amazing turn out and different community members for each class. This is fantastic because we feel like the free classes really helped to get the word out about the gardens and how special a place it is. We plan to facilitate more garden work days and hold classes of a similar theme for next month.
Action plan:
Timeline: We'd love to start in February, kicking off with some wellness/culinary classes.
Budget: The plan will be to get some stainless steel demo tables and projecter/screen set for the classroom.
Impact: community members and potential will have free access to workshops and demos happening in the garden.
Location: The Eagles Nest at Tecolote
