Mel Bartholomew's Coming!
As you may have read in my profile, I'm a high school teacher. School started recently, and I've been too busy to blog. I'm still spending a few minutes in my garden each morning to water and harvet a thing or two. Soon, I'll be clearing out the vegetable plants that are finished for the season, and planting new seeds and/or transplants.
But I have exciting news to share. Mel Bartholomew, the creator of the Square Foot Gardening Method, is coming to Southern California! He will be speaking in Irvine, at the LDS Church at 23 Lake Road at eleven o'clock on Saturday, September 17. I'll be there. If you are within driving distance, I'm sure you'll want to be there too.
He has changed the way the world gardens. Anyone can grow his or her own food in spaces large or small, with no muss, and no fuss. No weeds, no fertilizer. Just a few minutes per day. Organic, healthy food direct from your own garden to your table. Save money, save the earth, teach your children what food should taste like. I'm thrilled to get the chance to hear the man who taught me how to garden over thirty years ago.
Until next time,
Elizabeth
