Dear Community Gardener,

 

We at CAC Food & Gardens Division are working with UW Cooperative Extension to plan another fun, free late-winter conference for community gardeners in Madison.  Please save the date, forward this message to other community gardeners, and join us for the second annual …

 

Madison Grow Together Conference

 

 

When: Sunday, March 18 from 1:00 – 5:00 pm

 

Who:

Bring the kids!  Bring the adults! 

THIS EVENT IS FREE!  We’ll have lots of gardening & leadership sessions for adults;

nature activities for kids; materials you can take back to your garden; and

a light lunch of food prepared during cooking demonstrations by gardeners.

 

What:

Great workshops and discussions: Composting; Gardening without Gasoline (no-till methods); How to Save a Garden, led by leaders of the threatened Sheboygan Garden; How to Start a New Garden; School Gardens; Garden Plot Fees; Garden Rain Barrels led by Sustain Dane.

 

Materials for your garden:  We’ll distribute seeds and supplies to garden leaders (contact us in advance if you’d like to pick these up for your community garden).

 

Cooking demonstrations: Favorite traditional dishes made with garden produce.

 

Kids Activities: led by staff of Aldo Leopold Nature Center.  These activities were fantastic last year!

 

Where:

The wonderful new Allied Boys & Girls Club at 4619 Jenewein St between Allied Drive & Red Arrow Trail, in southwest Madison near the Verona Road exit from the Beltline.

 

Got a suggestion for a workshop we should offer?  Can you help with the conference?  Please call or drop us a note at janetp@... or 246-4730 ext. 218.

 

More details will be coming soon, including registration & carpooling info.  Please forward this note to any community gardeners who might be interested; all are welcome to attend.

 

Hope to see you at Madison Grow Together!
