Dig in and grow — Anyone can cultivate a green thumb, and this welcoming workshop will show you how.
Gardening Foundations is growing Orlando’s community of home gardeners. Whether you want to beautify your living space with ornamental flowers or do your grocery shopping in your own backyard, take part in this workshop to demystify the science and art of nurturing plants from seed to harvest.
Students may choose to purchase single classes, or attend all three at a bundle rate.
Keep on Growing
Ready to grow some more? The second session in Gardening Foundations builds on the introductory principles we learned before. Learn to think like a gardener by planning out your season and helping the web of life in your backyard work together. We’ll explore the interconnected systems in the Culinary Garden and learn how to apply those principles to your own home garden.
Meet your Garden Educator, Blake Herndon
Blake graduated from Le Cordon Bleu London in 2024 while working for a biodynamic market garden operated by Farmacy London. He learned the value of a home-cooked farm-fresh meal by shelling peas and shucking corn in North Florida with his grandparents, and has been recreating the comfort of their kitchen ever since. Blake’s mission is to root the Southern comfort food of his childhood in principles of nutrition, regenerative provenance, and well-being. He works closely with Everoak Farm’s Mike Garcia to plan the development of The Kitchen House’s culinary garden.
