Seed to Kitchen to Table

With Spring right around the corner, MIX Garden will equip you with the gardening knowledge, tools and seeds you need to prepare for the upcoming growing season.

Get ready for spring with the Spring Garden Preparation class at MIX Garden, the inaugural session of gardening classes as part of the Crafted at Appellation immersive learning series. This class is tailored for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to enrich their gardening knowledge and skills in preparation for the upcoming growing season.

As you learn, sip on a sparkling brunch cocktail or glass of freshly squeezed juice while enjoying specially prepared bites from Appellation Healdsburg.

The growing begins as soon as the class ends as all attendees take home their very own personally crafted herb garden.
