Slow Food Lake Tahoe is hosting a first-ever FREE veggie seed give away (and some herb and flower seeds too, just for fun!). This family-friendly event is designed to help you jump start our short growing season by providing you with seeds to start indoors NOW. The seeds provided have been shown to grow best in our high elevation climate. In fact, they are the same varieties SFLT uses in their SFLT gardens. Check out the best in seeds for peas, beans, greens, beets, carrots and radishes (and more)!
All ages and skill levels are welcome.
Activities include a reading circle with some of the best children’s stories about gardening and seeds, coloring, crafts (think “make your own pollinator” and a birdfeeder) and learn how to harvest seeds from flower heads (and store them in the seed envelope you make yourself).

Practical Permaculture Class

Imagine heading outside to your yard and being able to gather ingredients for a delicious main course or side dish. It is easier than you think.
Every site requires site-specific techniques, and we’ll teach you how to identify what is needed to implement a successful project.
Students will gain the confidence to read their own landscapes and identify resources and weaknesses. Using permaculture design principles and the very best organic gardening techniques, they will then learn how to plan and install a system for prolific production.
