Event Description
The Monadnock Community Gardening and Seed Saving Initiative (MCGSSI), a program of the Sustainability Project, invites Monadnock Region residents to Green Energy Options in Keene on Tuesday, March 31 at 7:00 PM to talk about ways to bring people together and grow local food.
Topics will include:
-- Community Gardens: A piece of land is divided into garden plots which are rented to community members.
-- Garden sharing: Gardeners who have space sharing it with those who don't.
-- Produce-sharing: A group of gardening friends or neighbors exchange parts of their crop with each other so everyone gets a wider variety.
-- Tool banks: A repository of common garden tools, functioning like (and possibly hosted at) a library.
-- Gardening clubs: Vital local sources of knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm.
If you have knowledge or experience of any of these things (especially locally), please come out to share. If you want to know about any of these things, please come out to learn. If there are other related topics you want to talk about, come let us know. This event is part of MCGSSI's monthly series of gardening talks.
Green Energy Options is located at 79 Emerald Street in Keene. For more information, email colintedford@gmail.com or call 357-0860. You can visit MCGSSI's online community space at http://my.kitchengardeners.org/group/monadnockseedsaversandgardeners.
