Creating a Healthy Garden

Gardening gives us a sense of well-being. In an era when we are living in such restricted times, more people than ever are getting their hands into dirt. There is an increased demand for getting back to growing our own food, nurturing pollinator gardens and digging our noses into gardening books and magazines. We have also been “awakened” to the harm we have done to Mother Earth. The awakening includes a realization that increasing our pollinators, removing all chemicals from our landscape, and creating more biodiversity within the confines of our yard gives us a huge feeling of control over a world gone mad. This course will teach you best practices for growing a successful garden no matter what size yard (or balcony) or level of ability you have. Lynda hopes to help take away your fear and get you immersed in the natural world right in your own yard! She will cover organic food gardening and gardening with containers. Lynda Pasacreta is President of the Richmond Garden Club and lead volunteer at a six acre park in the city of Richmond.
