During our first block of our Gardening workshop happening every Wednesday and

Week 1 is about planning and researching the types of herbs, plants, and vegetables
to purchase and plant, as well as the appropriate gardening tools. This includes
understanding the best locations for planting, whether in full sun, semi-sun, or shaded

nutrient content.
Week 2 involves researching and purchasing the best gardening tools, compiling a list,
and preparing the garden beds and pots with soil.
Week 3 involves cleaning the garden area, finishing soil placement, weeding,
trimming, raking, and adding garden edging.

ensuring proper use of gardening tools.
