Sustenance Gardening

While I don't actually plan on growing vegetables and fruits to feed my family year around, I am going to grow a few and I am going to try out some canning and/or pickling.  I just love the way the jars look all neatly lined up on a shelf.

Tonight we have a great opportunity to learn how to do this.  Two neighbors, one a great full yard vegetable & fruit & flower gardener and preserver and the other a professional consultant on eco garden planning are going to share their expertise and ideas at a workshop on sustainable gardening.  It's free and it's open to anyone who is interested, so join me tonight at the St. Anthony Park United Church of Christ from 6 - 8PM.  Here are the details:

SAP Sustainable Food and Land Group
