From Plan to Plate: Grow an Edible Garden by Flavor

If you love to cook and want to grow your own ingredients, this class shows you how to plan a garden around the way you actually eat. In this beginner-friendly online class, Chef Michele walks you through how to design small-space edible gardens using flavor themes that make sense in your kitchen. You’ll explore four garden plans: a Pizza Garden, Salsa Garden, Salad Garden, and Herb Garden. You’ll learn what to plant, where to put it, and when to start, with region-specific guidance, container and raised bed layouts, and simple companion planting strategies. To bring it full circle, you’ll also get easy recipes for each garden, so you know exactly how to use what you grow.

This class is part of the From Plan to Plate series and builds on your garden planning so you can move into spring with a clear, actionable plan. You’ll leave with planting timelines, planning worksheets, and growing guides to help you get started right away. No experience needed, just an interest in food and a plan to grow it.
