Urban gardening
Learn how to grow your own herbs, vegetables, or flowers in an urban environment at Growing Places Indy. These classes focus on techniques suitable for small spaces, such as container gardening and vertical gardening. It’s about a one-mile stroll to their location at Arsenal Tech High School downtown.
