The first Great Grow Along will take place from Friday March 19th to Sunday March 21st. It includes more than 40 sessions from seasoned gardeners, Kevin Espiritu, founder of Epic Gardening, and Linda Vater, a garden designer and stylist. Classes are divided into six sections: edible gardening, pollinators and plants, urban gardening, DIY landscaping, houseplants, and deeper digging (with an emphasis on the ground). There will be workshops, Q&A sessions and live interviews.
