🌿 Rooted & Ready: A Take-Home Garden Experience

Survival Gardening for Small Spaces | Grow Bags Included

Join us for an unforgettable hands-on workshop where you'll learn to grow essential “survival crops” right from your patio, balcony, or small yard! Rooted & Ready is all about learning the core skills of self-reliance, food security, and gardening in tight spaces—no raised bed required.

Together, we'll plant six powerhouse crops perfect for Zone 5b that not only grow well in containers, but can keep your family fed all season long.

🧤 What You’ll Do:

✔️ Learn the basics of survival gardening using grow bags
✔️ Plant 6 take-home crops (tomatoes, potatoes, kale, zucchini, peppers, and bush beans)
✔️ Explore intercropping techniques for small spaces
✔️ Discover container-friendly companion plants
✔️ Leave with your own patio garden + confidence to keep growing

🪴 Survival Crop Lineup (Perfect for Zone 5b):

  1. Potatoes – Grown in deep bags for high yields

  2. Kale – Cold-hardy and nutrient-dense

  3. Tomatoes + Carrots – Vertical fruit + root companion

  4. Bush Beans – Compact protein source

  5. Peppers + Onions – Flavorful combo for storage and meals

  6. Zucchini – Abundant harvest from one plant

Each crop is chosen for its storage potential, nutrition, and ability to thrive in small urban spaces.
