Short growing season? Not enough space? Sore back and knees? Grow crops in containers for a longer season, to fit in more crops, and bend less. If you want to up your game at container growing, or if you're new to gardening and need an inspiring primer, join us on April 14th for a live online class.

We chat with Winnipeg-based garden educator Dave Hanson, co-host of The Grow Guide Podcast, and founder of Sage Garden Greenhouses.
Hanson, who spent time in his youth in a tropical climate, has been growing herbs and spices since his childhood, eventually working at a herb nursery as a teenager.
He loves growing exotic edible plants. His Winnipeg climate means that frost-sensitive plants can come out June 1, and be back under cover in time for the first fall frost in late September. That doesn’t stop him.
Hanson gives his tips for growing guava, yacon, starfruit, cinnamon, curry leaf, and black pepper.
