Library Roundup: Gardening Class, Book Sales & More!

Want to learn how to garden and be kind to the environment at the same time? Come to Amy Dismukes’ introduction to Organic Gardening!  Her presentation is not so much “anti-chemical” as it is pro-gardening in an environmentally friendly manner.  Amy will offer an overview of gardening in cooperation with the ecosystem of the home garden.  In addition to explaining how to build/improve soil and plant nutrition using organic fertilizers, Amy will also demonstrate ways to grow a garden that is naturally resistant to pests and diseases.
