Flavorful, vine-ripened tomatoes are often the main reason many of us plant a vegetable garden. This session will provide practical advice on the basics of tomato growing success, including:

• Choosing tomato varieties
• Planting guidelines
• Caring for tomato plants
• Dealing with tomato diseases and pests
• Harvesting and storing tomatoes.

Space is limited. Registration opens April 11 and closes at 5 p.m. June 20, 2025, or when the class is full. Garden Basics is a partnership with the Bread and Roses ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church in Charlottesville.
