Description:

Dig In workshops take place outside in the Learning Garden Lab at VanDusen Botanical Garden; these beginner-friendly, monthly sessions cover a variety of seasonal topics to help build your gardening skills. 

The March Dig In workshop will explore how to prepare, sow, and plan for the early growing season, with a special focus on root crops. Learn how to set up beds for carrots, beets, radishes, and more, and how to choose varieties that suit your soil, space, and seasonal conditions for growing healthy, flavourful harvests.  

Led by Sangeeta Thomas, Learning Garden Coordinator, the workshop will include a hands‑on gardening portion, and offer tried & true techniques you can use at home. Participants will take home a small selction of seeds for their own spring plantings.

Note: The Learning Garden is accessed via a 15-minute walk along paved and gravel trails. The rasied garden beds are wheelchair accessible. The workshop will take place outside, rain or shine; please dress for the weather!
