Peaceful Belly Farm Class at the Hidden Springs Farm
Learn how to Create an Amazing Productive Vegetable Garden. Do you want a home garden that produces a bounty of fresh organic vegetables like Peaceful Belly Farm?

Peaceful Belly is offering Hidden Springs Residents a 35-week victory garden intern course. This is a hands-on course. We will start with a piece of bare land and create a huge plentiful organic garden from the ground up. This garden will be the student's garden to run, maintain and harvest. After this course you will have all the knowledge to grow all their own vegetable garden.

Course will include
You will receive hands-on instruction and teaching on starting all plants from seed, composting, compost teas, building fences, creating an irrigation system, garden planning, trellising, equipment matientance, successions planting, pest control, crop rotation, companion planting, weeding, harvesting and much more.

Course cost and benefits
The course is 35 weeks at $10 a week totaling $350 for entire course. ALL food produced in the garden will be shared among students. This is a huge benefit because students will grow almost every vegetable that the Treasure Valley can grow and a lot of it. It is kinda like joining a CSA but better.

Time commitment
The re will be a weekly class that will last for 2 to 3 hours. Additionally each student is required to spend one additional hour a week in the garden doing maintainence; weeding, water and learning the secrets of the soil. Classes will start in March and go until October.

Location
Peaceful Belly will be teaching this course in two different locations. We are excited to partner with BUGS (Boise Urban Garden School) and teaching this class in their garden located on the bench.

We will also be teaching this class in a farm setting at Hidden Springs Farm. Hidden Springs Residents get the first chance to sign up for the course at the Hidden Springs Farm. You are free to choose the location that works best for you.
