Organic Gardening Workshops
Jai, our Edible Landscape Designer and Master Gardener grew up on an organic farm, has been growing plants for more than 45 years and owned Jai’s Landscape Design and Nursery for fifteen years in Michigan. She taught classes on Landscape Design, Perennial Garden Design, Herb Gardens, Organic Pest Control, Organic Gardening and others at many locations including Washtenaw Community College, Saline Parks & Recreation, Ypsilanti Recreation Center, etc.
More recently in the past two years, she has learned how to successfully grow organic food crops in our Florida soil which is sadly lacking in top soil, micro-organisms, minerals and composted organic matter.
