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.

Regenerative Practices for the Home Gardener: Regenerative growing practices pull carbon and other greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere and draw them into the soil where they can be stored for hundreds and even thousands of years. Increasing carbon in your soil improves nutrient and water retention, improves drainage, reduces reliance on agricultural inputs, and ensures that home gardeners are growing some of the most nutritiously dense foods available. Regenerative techniques are often discussed when referencing large farms, but these same techniques (and more!) can be easily applied in backyard gardens. Come learn about the factors affecting soil health, why carbon storage is so important, and how to use naturally occurring soil processes to enhance soil nutrition.

Every ticket includes a 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, $45/person
