Bluprint (affiliate link) teaches a variety of maker classes online, including gardening classes and topics like photography on your iPhone. They also have a food craft class that would be appropriate for gardeners, especially if you raise your own fruit--Jams and Marmalades. I have an annual subscription which allows me all the classes I want to take. So little time, so many cool new things to learn.

I like the SFG method because it lets you garden almost anywhere, regardless of how small your plot of land might be. Lots of free resources on the website plus a great book that will help you garden just about anywhere.
