We will explore garden design and preparation, composting, seed starting and cold frame use, and fruit growing as landscaping. We will also learn how growing food enriches health and relationships, and reclaims valuable life skills that preserve the environment for future generations.Dr. Donna Armstrong is a retired professor of epidemiology and public health who researched social and environmental sustainability, specifically focusing on food growing.
