At a time when the Earth and visions of sprouting gardens are cold, The Sustainability Project invites all to join in the 4th annual Seed Celebration on February 7th at the Gilsum Elementary School Community Center. Get a jump on the growing season, learn about local food and farm initiatives, and treat your children to a day of fun-filled nature and gardening activities. This is also a great opportunity to network with other farmers, gardeners and sustainable community activists.
The doors open at 9:00 a.m. and a full schedule of speakers, workshops, and demonstrations begins at 10:00.
Throughout the day, experienced gardeners will be on hand to help you plan your garden and to choose and order seeds well-suited to this region. Information tables and demonstrations will be ongoing, engaging both the young and young at heart.
The suggested donation for the event is $7.00 for adults, $5.00 for children and $18.00 for families. No one will be turned away for lack of funds and barter exchange on the day of the event is available. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Sustainability Project’s effort to promote seed saving, earth friendly horticultural methods and the “Stewards of the Earth” Gilsum after-school program. Please call me 352-1887 for more information, or if you would like to volunteer your help during the event.
