Great Turnout for First Outdoor Learning Class of the Year

By Community Events, Gardening Tips, Outdoor Learning Center

Saturday, February 9 marked our first outdoor learning class of the year. Lori Caldwell, an educator on sustainable gardening from Martinez conducted a great class on building healthy soil. 30 people attended – not including the one in the stroller – and we all learned a lot. If you missed it or want to contact Lori yourself, she can be reached at compostgal@hotmail.com
