Organic Turf Management

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. On Sat April 18th we run the first Introduction to Organic Gardening and Permaculture workshop of the season. The workshop continues to evolve and there is lots of new content this year. There are May dates for that workshop too, as well as the Soil Food Web (Organic Soils) workshop. The crux of organic gardening is in the soil, so consider that one if you are serious about growing organic.

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. The question we consider is how to get peaceful with diverse life forms. Any self aware gardener knows that can be a challenge. (We can be all **love and light** while the garden is the way we like it, but if a cucumber beetle family shows up in the hood, peace is a Big Issue.)

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

Jane
