Join Leah M. Webb, author and garden consultant, for a 6-month garden and wellness series at Cup & Saucer in downtown Brevard, NC. We’ll meet on the last Saturday of every month, 4:00 – 5:30pm, at The Mercantile for learning and community-building around gardening and wellness. Classes begin in January and end in June. See schedule below.

Building the Backyard Homestead: Building a highly productive homestead is best accomplished using incremental steps that increase your workload and skillset overtime. Leah will discuss the seven stages and corresponding inputs she’s used to slowly build her diverse homestead using no-dig, no-till, deep organic practices that are applicable for both rural and urban settings. Her own homestead was built on just three quarters of an acre in an urban community and started with just a few beds. She slowly expanded to include berries and fruit trees, perennial crops, four season growing, storage crops, and eggs. Participants will learn how to dream big while setting realistic and achievable homesteading goals.

Note: This class is based on Leah’s book, The Seven-Step Homestead. Copies will be available for sale.

Every ticket includes a free beverage of your choice from Cup and Saucer. Choices include (but are not limited to) tea, coffee, speciality coffee drinks, wine, or beer. Additional beverages and food are available for purchase. Please arrive at 4pm so that we can be seated and ready to start by 4:15pm.

Sliding Scale Cost: $35, $40, or $45/person
