She is also a local Master Gardener and loves to give back to the community by sharing everything she has learned. Her vegetable garden at home includes tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, purple hull peas, lots of lettuces, herbs, and more. Her favorite things to grow are okra and pickling cucumbers. Lauren has been at Urban Earth since november and previously was a high school science teacher. She's an avid gardener who continues to research and learn best practices for her plants. Her favorite edible to grow is a tie between snow peas and cucamelons. This month's free saturday seminar falls on April 15th, our estimated last frost date for the midsouth! We generally recommend waiting to plant tender annuals and vegetables until this time which makes it the perfect day to come to the greenhouse. You'll be ready to start your vegetable garden that day!
