Mt. Desert Island Adult & Community Education

This is an in-person, classroom-based course at Mount Desert Island High School.

Grow Your Own Organic Garden covers all the basics of organic gardening -- such as supporting soil and plant health, starting seeds indoors and outdoors, interplanting, pest management, watering, and harvesting. Participants will have plenty of time to ask questions and connect with one another about shared experiences in their gardening journeys so far. By the end of this class, you should feel equipped with knowledge and connected to resources and community members that will help them grow an organic garden, and feel satisfied with the process of doing so.

We’ll even send you home with some seeds to start in your own garden! This class is for beginner and seasoned gardeners alike.
