Plant Your Own Backyard Garden with Confidence
Founded in 2007, the Felege Hiywot Center is a community gardening education center in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood of Indianapolis. They work with area youth to develop gardening skills and environmental responsibility. Felege Hiywot Center staff will give participants a tour of the farm and offer tips on getting started on your own garden at home. What are the easiest fruits and vegetables to grow at home? What are some common misconceptions about planting a backyard garden? When is the best time to plant your garden? What should be planted with seeds? What are better with starter plants? They can answer these and many other questions for new or veteran gardeners.
