On Saturday, November 15th<\/strong>, Curry County Master Gardener volunteers partnered once again with the South Coast Health Equity Coalition (SCHEC) to offer a Spanish\u2013English bilingual gardening class at their newly opened community space\u2014complete with its own greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop follows the success of our first bilingual offering in July, the Spanish-Speaking Seed Starting Workshop<\/em>, which you can read about HERE<\/a><\/strong>. Together, these sessions are part of our ongoing effort to make gardening education more accessible, inclusive, and community-driven on the South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master Gardeners Julia Bott<\/strong> and Brenda Blythe<\/strong>, along with Brookings Harbor Garden Club VP Sally Thibeault<\/strong>, led November\u2019s class with a focus on \u201cWhat to Do in Your Garden Now\u201d and practical pest management. The bilingual format ensured that Spanish-speaking participants could fully engage, ask questions, and build confidence in their gardening skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the teaching portion, everyone headed outside to put new knowledge into practice. Volunteers and participants worked together to weed raised beds, plant garlic, and sow a fava bean cover crop. We even uncovered and replanted several volunteer brassicas that had self-sown around the property. The group also enjoyed a tour of Brenda’s worm bin and discussed a variety of pest management tools and resources available to home gardeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCHEC expressed deep appreciation for the partnership and is eager to continue learning\u2014especially about indoor growing in their new space and expanding their worm composting efforts. We look forward to offering more bilingual workshops and continuing to grow this meaningful collaboration in the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
