RE: Gardening for Grades workshop this Saturday April 16

Is anyone going to this event, below? If not, I may try to stop in for a bit.
The county is sponsoring a Care for Creation event the same afternoon from 11 to 3:00. I don't have a lot of details, but will attend with my church (Highlands Presbyterian) and I know that other local churches will be there also. This relates to another segment of institutional gardening that may be of interest to the school gardening group. Let me know if you need more info and I will forward.

I will be attending on behalf of FOG and our school garden committee--
I think that perhaps some of the teachers in the committee are
planning to attend as well... I'll be sending out an update/summary
notes to the group as well!
Thanks so much, talk to you soon!
