Our Beginning Gardener course contains five videos and additional written resources, designed to guide viewers through the skills needed to grow organically. Instructors Caleb Goossen, MOFGA\u2019s crop specialist, and Dave Colson, operator of New Leaf Farm, cover site selection, seed starting, transplanting, weeding and backyard composting. This series is great for first time gardeners, as well as newer gardeners looking to dive deeper into more advanced topics like creating your own potting mix or seed
