Indoor Food Garden Talk at October 21, 2024 Meeting of the Silver Spring Garden Club

The October 21, 2024, speaker meeting of the Silver Spring Garden Club features a talk entitled, "Your Indoor Food Garden." 

Don’t let the cold weather stop you from growing at least some of your food indoors—and not just lettuce and herbs. Our speaker Kim Roman will start with assessing your growing space and site preparation, and feature some unique ideas to get maximum production from a small indoor space. While writing her latest book, the main growing area was a 4’x9’ space in her home office and included tomatoes, cucumbers, ginger, turmeric, and much more.

Kim’s passion is teaching easy vegetable and herb gardening to help you “Confidently Grow Your Own Food Indoors and Out!” A Square Foot Gardening Certified Instructor taught by method creator Mel Bartholomew, Kim is the author of two books: “How to Garden Indoors & Grow Your Own Food Year-Round” and “Growing Herbs for Health, Wellness, Cooking, and Crafts” which focuses on culinary herbs rather than medicinal. Check out her on-demand gardening classes at www.sfg4u.com. She invites you to “get social” @SquareFootGardening4U, @YourIndoorFoodGarden, and @CulinaryHerbsForWellness.

WHERE: Brookside Gardens Visitors Center/Education Building 1800 Glenallan Avenue, Wheaton, MD
