Market Gardening

Market gardening is the commercial production of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other plants, on a scale larger than a home garden, yet small enough that many of the principles of gardening can be applied, and is often oriented toward local markets, such as farmers markets.  This series of 8 classes will cover different aspects of the scope, startup and operation of a market garden business
