Grow food, not lawns! Increase local food security,

improve your diet, beautify your surroundings,

dealing with topics that include whole system design,

garden preparation, permaculture, water wise

gardening, seed saving, planting, and free resources

(foodnotlawnskc.org). Presenters include master

and highly-qualified gardeners. Please bring $5 for
