June 10, 2009 - The Monadnock Localvore Project will host a Yard to Garden: Backyard Gardening Workshop on Sunday, July 12, 2009 from 2 to 4p.m. in Keene, NH.
Rob & Sandy Hamm, garden enthusiasts, will offer a tour of their Keene yard that includes raised garden beds, edible perennials, rainwater catchment, compost, and more all in a 0.23 acre lot! Rob is a Master Gardener, so bring your questions. Jen Risley, Program Coordinator at the Hannah Grimes Center, will also share how she is slowly converting her yard to edible gardens using permaculture principles. All will share tools and resources that have helped them grow their own 'Yardens of Eating'.
This workshop is open to 10 participants, so please register early. Sliding scale fee is $5-10; but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. To register: http://www.hannahgrimes.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=182. Directions to the workshop will follow your registration.
