To help us bring our garden dreams to reality, join us for a presentation by two skilled speakers who will help you begin planning a small food garden before the growing season has begun. We will discuss compost, building the garden site, fencing, cold frames, seed ordering, starting seedlings at home, and lots more. Ideas - and handouts - presented to both inspire and educate. Grow Your Food: 101 has been a hit for the past three years with gardeners of varied experience. The program is free, though donations to cover costs are welcomed.  Space is limited.  RSVP by February 1 to deb01742@comcast.net.

JOINT FEDCO SEED ORDER organized by Debbie Bier for home gardeners, community and small scale farmers is coming SOON. Deadline for the group order and details to follow at our February 5 program. Thank you Debbie!
