Our Road Trip April 24, 2013

WHO: Niki Jabbour
WHAT: Crops In Pots presentation
WHERE: Keshen Goodman Public Library
WHEN: Wednesday, April 24 at 7:00pm SHARP

Overview:
You don't need a garden to grow food. Even a few pots, window boxes, or pallets can be transformed into your own food factory! Join author and radio personality Niki Jabbour and learn all the basics of growing food in containers.

Again, this is on our regular meeting night for April and replaces our meeting.  Please note that Niki's talk starts at 7:00pm.

Hope to see you there! :)
