2012 CLASSES – OCCUPY YOUR YARD and GROW YOUR OWN FOOD
TOWARDS BUILDING A LOCAL FOOD RESOURCE
Everyone can grow their own food! Growing our own food contributes to a sustainable lifestyle and develops a deeper connection to the earth. Planning and skill building makes a huge difference to your success. This 2012 series of classes and workshops is designed to support successful food gardens in the backyard garden or on the farm. Through hands-on experience and class discussions we will study and practice best practices of regenerative agriculture. Those new to gardening will gain enough knowledge to begin their own garden. Experienced gardeners will gain new knowledge and and learn new techniques to enrich their current gardens.
