Debbie Barr, our friend and fellow gardener, has invited everyone to a movie tonight called Dirt! which will be held at 7:30 at Alcott School. Hope you can make it! They're also raffling off a Farmstead 4x4 mortise and tenon raised garden bed! Should be a fun night. Hope to see you there.

I hope you can join us for a terrific evening focused on ---DIRT! As community gardeners you can appreciate the importance of the topic...so I hope you will come and forward to your members!
Here are the details:
The ‘Focus on Food Film and Discussion series’ presents ‘Dirt! The Movie’, full of heart and soil, on Friday, March 16 at 7:30 pm, at the Alcott School, 93 Laurel Street. The Film Series is co-sponsored by ConcordCAN and the Walden Woods Project. Doors open at 7 PM. One way to get your hands dirty is to enter a raffle for a Farmstead 4x4 mortise and tenon raised garden bed. Raffle tickets are $1 each at the screening.
Dirt! The Movie tells the story of the glorious and under-appreciated material beneath our feet. The film looks closely at the living organic matter that feeds us, holds and cleans our water, and regulates the earth’s climate. It also offers many ways to build a more sustainable relationship with this precious resource.
Come at 7pm and see the compost display, and stay after the film for speakers and discussion. Brian Cramer, Manager of Hutchins Farm, will speak about farm soils in Concord and organic methods for building up soil. Mark Hanson, composting advocate and experienced gardener, will demonstrate composting techniques for home gardens.
‘Dirt! The Movie’ is a widely praised Official Sundance Selection. “The film excels. It is a playful, spiritual tale of the soil beneath our feet” says Documentary.org and Variety calls it “Thought provoking…welcome humor and visual pizzazz.”
If Concord Schools are closed due to bad weather, the program will be cancelled.
See you there,
Debbie Barr
