Camden gardener Anna Dembska will share stories, techniques, and tips from her experiments in turning her neglected, undersized yard into a thriving, evolving environment providing nourishment both physical and psychic. Topics include:

Rapid, inexpensive, low-input yard-to-garden transformation; seed saving and promiscuous pollination to develop locally thriving plants for food in a changing environment; and freely incorporating elements of permaculture, native planting, and community for maximum success and enjoyment.

The evening will also include some hands-on activities, including creating your own seedling pots from sustainable materials!
