A thoughtful planting plan sets you up for a smoother, more productive season in the vegetable garden. Join Mary Buri, garden designer, coach, and founder of Mars Kitchen Garden, as she shares her simple, effective methods for minimizing overwhelm and maximizing your space (and your harvests).

In this class, you’ll learn the essentials of planning a successful vegetable garden:
• how to decide what you truly want to grow
• how to draw a clear crop layout with smart spacing and companion planting
• how to create a simple planting schedule for 7+ months of harvesting
• how to divide your crops into two planting groups—direct sow and transplant
• how to build a seed and seedling shopping list

You’ll also leave with Mary’s top soil-prep strategies and her best tips for smooth, successful planting days.

Since founding Mars Kitchen Garden in January 2020, she has guided more than 150 home gardeners across Westchester and Fairfield Counties in creating edible gardens that are beautiful, productive, and manageable.
