Raise farm fresh eggs in your own backyard! The Garden’s education director, Laurie Furry, will share everything you need to know to start enjoying fresh eggs while keeping your new flock happy and healthy. Topics include determining if you are legally allowed to have a flock in your community, deciding between chicks or laying hens, what to feed and not to feed your hens, housing needs, protection from predators, and the benefits of raising your own hens for eggs. You’ll meet a couple of little ladies from Laurie’s flock in this class and see a slide show of other interesting breeds available for a home flock. $15 Members, $20 Non-Members
