Introduction to Organic Gardening and Permaculture

From the desk of Garden Jane

I hope this finds you happy and well! The Garden Jane gang is definitely up for spring planting. We passed time this winter with enjoyable discussions of 'No Work' gardening and studies of soil life.

And now that spring has turned the first corner, it is time to start some seeds and consider joining us for a workshop, discussion, story or activity.

Kids and families can join us for a new season of story telling and activities in several places. And for gardeners looking to connect to other beings in spirit, there is a new Deep Gardening for Social Change workshop too.

With visions of fresh peas and kale and seeing gardening friends very soon,

Jane
