The growing demand for locally grown foods has been accompanied by an ever increasing interest in the development of community and private gardens. There are many different types of community gardens out there and many more plans and hopes for the future, however there are some things that all these gardens have in common... the environment. The importance of taking the proper steps early on is critical, because even though your food may be grown locally, if you don’t know what is in the soil you are using, the food you produce is not necessarily any better than those shipped from thousands of miles away, and perhaps even worse.

Whether you are interested in starting a community garden, currently belong to one, have a backyard garden, or just enjoy local food, join us on July 7th to learn more about how to ensure that our local food system is sustainable.

Ramsi's Café on the World will be providing food for the event and coffee will be provided by Heine Brothers Coffee.
