 Also enjoy a talk by Katy Locke: Katy Locke has recently devoted her life to bringing forth an environmentally sustainable, socially just, and spiritually fulfilling human presence on Earth.  At her home in Keene, NH she is establishing Permaculture gardens, working with the healing properties of plants, and writing. Katy is both the founder of Mandala Way and a founding member of the Transition Keene Task Force.

Katy will speak about Neighborhood Food Security – Building Resilience in Keene: Join Katy Locke for a presentation exploring how expanding “Food Security” in our local communities will likely require us to take a fresh new look at the spaces we call home.  Katy will be assisted in her talk by Antioch University Student Intern, Flora Cao Qian.”

Come join us at the Keene Family YMCA as we participate in garden activities, network with area gardeners, and think about how to support learning in gardens! Tuesday’s event is a part of the learning series for our garden sites, but we are excited to be able to open this one up to the public. We will start at 6:30pm and end at 9:00pm, wrapping up the evening with an ice cream social.

The evening will feature demos and hands-on activities by UNH Cooperative Extension educators, Jess Skinner of ReRootEd, and Monica Pless of Stonewall Farm and Antioch University New England (AUNE).  Also highlighted will be educators from Early Sprouts, Symonds School, and AUNE.   The event was made possible by the AUNE Student Activity Fund with ongoing support from the Rashti Foundation.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you aren’t able to come, please pass…
