Powell Gardens Class on the Schedule

Filed under: General

I am happy to announce that Powell Gardens has updated their online calendar to include my class, “Eating Locally and Sustainably.”

Eating Locally and Sustainably
Organic has become a buzzword in today’s society, but what does “going organic” really mean for your health and for our planet? Is it better to buy organic produce in the grocery store or conventionally grown vegetables from a local farmer? This informative class will introduce you to the differences between conventional, organic and sustainable farming, explore the reasons for and against eating only locally grown foods, investigate the idea of seasonal eating and explain the concept of community supported agriculture.

Saturday, February 6, 1- 3 p.m.
$39/person, $32/Members
Registration deadline is January 29.

You can sign up for the class online or call 816-697-2600, ext. 307.  Hope to see you there!
