1475 West Front Street, Lincroft - Unitarian Meetinghouse (uucmc.org)

Have you ever thought about seeds as a valuable and vulnerable resource? Come learn what simple steps you can take to protect this source of biodiversity and why it is important. 

Wendy Weiner has been a gardener by trade for more than 20 years, most recently she ran a gardening service installing vegetable gardens and mentored new gardeners.  Wendy  has many years of experience teaching classes and leading presentations in her community.  

A recent graduate of Seed School and Seed School Teacher Training, Wendy is spreading the good word about why now, more than ever it’s time to save seeds as we are losing diversity and big business has quietly been buying up our small seed companies.

                          Film: Symphony of Soil

Sunday, May 31 6 pm

1475 West Front Street, Lincroft

Unitarian meetinghouse (uucmc.org)

Symphony of Soil is a film that cultivates appreciation of this immensely complex and dynamic resource, revealing the many relationships between soil, water, the atmosphere, plants and animals. It also examines the human relationship to soil, and its use and misuse in agriculture, deforestation, and development, as well.

Along with seed saving, this is about our real paths to the future. Discussion afterwards. 

The Monmouth County Master Gardeners will have literature available regarding soil testing, etc. Emaildanci...@gmail.com or call 732-284-6312 for more info.
