February in the
Kitchen and Garden

In the second class in the Kitchen and Garden Year series, we awaken the flowers of spring by forcing bulbs and buds indoors, awaken our tastes buds with spicy tangy kimchi, explore permaculture design principles and start drawing our own garden layout for the coming year. What to expect:
