Organic Edible Gardening Livestream
Grow your own organic produce! Whether you want to provide your family with nutritious food, save money, get some exercise or just be more self-sufficient, this course will give you the skills and knowledge you need to be on your way to a successful harvest. If you have a few hours a week, you can grow the best organic vegetables for your table. You do not need a large yard. Growing in raised beds and containers makes gardening so much easier. We will discuss building raised beds and where to buy pre-made ones. All aspects of gardening will be covered: design and care, preparation, planting, harvesting, and more. You will learn everything you need to know about our favorite vegetables, fruits, herbs, and edible flowers. Join us in the dirt to make great, healthy food! Supplies: Gardening tools and a supplies list will be suggested and emailed to students before the start of class.

Introduction to Chess Livestream
It is widely known that playing chess improves mental acuity, cognitive ability and enhances creativity. Chess is one of the oldest games in human history and, since its inception, changed drastically into the game we know today. Join us in this interactive virtual class, where you will learn the history and development of the game of chess, modern chess theory, the rules of the game, and chess strategies that will enable you to play at a beginner or intermediate level by the end of class. This class is ideal for people who have little or no experience with chess. Supplies: Practice problems, lectures, and worksheets will be emailed to students but owning an actual chess board with pieces will be extremely helpful.
