Making a Difference
SATURDAY June 24, 2023

Interested in finding out some concrete steps you can take in to help make the world a better place through creating biodiversity and sustainable practices where you live (your yard, garden and home)? This class takes a look at some of the basic concepts of permaculture and other ideologies, and how you can implement them in your urban and suburban spaces. Together one home at a time – no matter where you live – we can make a difference.

Creating Biodiverse & Sustainable Spaces

March 11, 2023 – Gardening on the Edges

Ready to turn your traditional ideas about gardening upside down and to dig a little deeper into your connection with plants? Want to garden, but don’t know where to begin? Been gardening awhile, but not getting the results you want, or feel that you are working way to hard at it? Get ready to garden on the edge! This is not a how-to-grow-a-tomato type class, but is about developing your own philosophy of gardening and living in the world in a sustainable way. (This is an adult only class.)
