Thanks Jennifer! This looks great!

Unfortunately, I can't make it. Fortunately, I will be volunteering at the East CAC Community Day event this Saturday in Food Lion parking lot from 11:00 - 3:00! I urge you all to attend! But...

If anyone does go to this workshop, however, and gets some of the broccoli, squash (any variety), cauliflower or cabbage and can't plant it, I would gladly take it off your hands and plant it Saturday late afternoon! My garden is about to get a fall make-over and I would love to start with these things!

Thanks!
Ginger

Hi neighbors, thought this event may be of interest to some.


It's put on in part by the Young Farmer Training program conducted by IFFS, which is really amazing--read about it if you're interested: http://www.foodshuttle.org/program/young-farmer-training-program


HANDS IN THE DIRT-Fall Garden Workshop

FREE Class by Inter-Faith Food Shuttle & Grow And Share

This class is a special joint production between the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and Grow And Share. Come learn about how to get your fall garden started.  The class will be taught in part by the IFFS Young Farmer Training Program teen apprentices. Participants will receive free seedlings, seeds, and other fall plants.  We hope each student will be able to take several plants to grow, and immediately make your foray into Fall gardening.  IFFS Young Farmer Produce Stand will also be open for sales from 9-1pm that day.
