Arlington Community Education

(In Person) With a home garden you can grow sweeter and more nutritious produce than anything you buy in a store, but it’s essential that you start with healthy soil and learn the basics about garden design. Led by the founder of HomeHarvest, this workshop will discuss soil health, site preparation, sustainable land-use techniques, and how to maximize garden productivity while harmonizing with the landscape. We’ll also cover how to incorporate beautiful ornamental plants throughout the garden. This comprehensive workshop will help you design an attractive garden and grow food in an urban or suburban landscape using sustainable and organic practices. Please note: Class meets at Arlington High School.

We all love taking photos because we want to relive and share those unforgettable moments. However, many of us are drowning in the number of prints and digital images we have saved over the years. Want to be able to quickly find the exact photo when you need it? Would you like peace of mind knowing that your photos are properly protected? In this two-part class, we will explore how to collect, organize, and preserve both your print and digital photos. In the first part we will cover sorting, identifying, and protecting your print photos, both those in albums and those stored loose in shoe boxes. In the second part, we will cover how to organize, tag, and backup your digital photos. Both parts of the class will provide you with the information and confidence you need to start organizing your photos at home. You will learn the best practices to integrate new photos as you create them so that you don’t end up with a mess again. Please bring a box of photos and your phone so you can immediately apply the techniques offered.
