Does anyone know if anything like this will be offered in Lawrence?

 

I’d love to go, but it’s too far to travel for me since I have small children at home.

 

Thanks,

Janet

Probably not, but if enough folks are interested, they would probably consider

having one here, or garnering folks to hold one.

Hi Janet,

 

The Food Not Lawns group offered a similar workshop at the Light Center (near Lawrence) early this year.  Unfortunately, we did not get very many participants,  but we were more than happy to do it and had fun doing it too.  If you or someone you  know wants to organize a place and do the advertising to get students to the class.  We are more than willing to offer this course and/or others in Lawrence. 

 

Have an excellent day!
