We’re creating a new program and wonder what you think of the idea.
We’ve been reading Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma and Barbara Kingsolver’s book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and so we’re going to offer six one-day workshops beginning in February to help folks experience how to build and garden in a raised bed.
We’re calling it “Growing Your Own Vegetables in Small Spaces.” It will be on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m at at Turtle Rock Farm in Oklahoma. One in February, two in March, one in April and then two in August for fall planting.
What do you think? Are you ready to come to the country and learn to grow some fresh veggies without pesticides???

I enjoy “digging in the dirt” and welcome opportunities to get ideas for home gardening. I help elder homeowners grow things, ornamental and edible.

What great work. That must be life-giving for them too – in so many ways, including eating nutritious food and connecting deeply with the source of creation.As we work with school children helping them learn about growing their own food by doing it, we’re seeing the great, life-giving adventure of connecting with creation through gardening.
