Fwd: [GROWERSKC] GET GROWING KC SPRING WORKSHOPS

[Kaitlin Emig]

Speaking of getting ready for Spring gardening....here are a couple workshops for anyone who might be interested. 

Also, I hope to everyone at some point over the next month. I'll be moving to North Cali for a job teaching environmental education on a farm in April. It's been a pleasure gardening with everyone over the years and I know I'll always have a place to plant a seed whenever I return. Hopefully I will see you soon!
