| Growing your own food in the mountains is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It’s also one of the most humbling. Katie of 3 Barn Farm gets that, and she’s here to make the learning process a whole lot easier. This hands-on class covers what actually works at our elevation and in our rocky, clay-heavy WNC soils. Using one of our Epic Garden Beds as a live example, Katie walks you through building a bed, mixing the right soil, picking the right plants, and keeping everything alive through a mountain summer. | |
| What You’ll Cover: Building Your Bed: Why raised beds outperform in-ground planting here, and how to get yours set up right from the start. Soil That Works: How to build a mix that drains well, holds moisture, and gives your plants something worth growing into. Plant Selection: Which vegetables do well at higher elevations, and how to plan around WNC’s last frost dates. Watering Basics: Managing the gap between our wet springs and dry summer stretches. Keeping It Going: Feeding, mulching, and staying ahead of pests without reaching for a bottle of chemicals. When Things Go Wrong: Blight, critters, mystery wilting… Katie has seen it all and knows what to do about it. | |
| Katie of 3 Barn Farm has been growing food in the Southern Appalachians for years. Her approachable, practical teaching style makes this class a perfect fit for beginners and seasoned gardeners alike. |
