Let's Get Dirty!
Looking for survival skills that last a lifetime and can be shared with colleagues, family and friends? Then this is the place! Gardening
helps you ease your mind and find your space, so you can slow down to catch up with life. Interest in organics is exploding because, beyond
health benefits, people want to know where their food comes from in these times of unpredictable weather, economy, and food safety. Plus,
it's great for relieving stress, for outdoor exercise, and is a terrific and fun way to learn first-hand about good nutrition. By doing it
organically, you save money, labor, and have nutritious, chemical-free food for you and your family. These survival skills offer a sense of
security, control, and satisfaction - as well as enjoyment. This is why many businesses, municipal governments, medical facilities and other
entities are now incorporating Let's Get Dirty! Learn To Love Organic Gardening sessions into their wellness programs and group
presentations. Workplace sessions encourage not only learning, but a community for sharing growing trials and tribulations, enhancing
engagement, and employee outreach.
Join instructor Deborah Kates - certified Master Composter and organic 'Avant-gardener' for over 40 years - for sessions and workshops that are
fun, engaging, and educational, but easy to understand! From starting seeds indoors, transplanting, and when to plant what, to raised beds,
garden friends and enemies, container gardening for small spaces, and so much more - there's everything you need to dig on stress release, exercise,
fresh taste, nutrition, feeding your soul, and improving mental well-being. It's always the right time to get dirty, polish that green thumb,
and get growing! Don't have a green thumb? Let Deborah and LGD team member (and main "digger") Greg Layton help you find one. For session and
fee information, see the Class Information page.

dirty truths about gardening! Well worth it!"

"Deborah's programs are always very popular with the public. They are entertaining as well as informative. She is knowledgeable and witty, and I'm not
sure which people like best – the content or her personality. I think it's close!"
