The Communal Garden: Tomato Growing

This is a community gardening class taught by the Conservatory’s Growing to Green Coordinator, Sean McKay. Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.

Cherry, Beefsteak, Heirloom! Fresh homegrown tomatoes are the summers’ most desirable produce. A mouthwatering tomato is a real reward from the garden, and an abundant tomato cropcan be a home gardeners dream. This class will teach you how to grow and care for your crop, share tips for harvesting, and cover ways to save your best seeds for next year.
