Free classes offered Sunday, January 9 and 16
James David Sneed offers a class in “Gardening for Food Security” this Sunday at the Odd Fellows Hall from noon to 4 p.m.
Gardening for Food Security will present low-tech, low-cost methods for raising the food you need for nutrition and enjoyment. This free workshop shows how gardening can be cost-free, use only local materials, increase self-sufficiency, improve nutrition and flavor and re-unite us with the Nature our ancestors knew.
- Learn the very few tools you really need, and how to select, maintain and repair them.
- Free your garden from noise and pollution.
- Feed the soil so it can feed the plants
- Avoid pest and disease damage in your garden.
- Find garden spots for the landless
- Grow the right varieties for our area.
- Safe sources for seeds, bulbs, tubers and plants.
Next Sunday, January 16, Sneed will offer a class titled “Completing the Cycle.” The class will also be at the Odd Fellows Hall from noon 4 p.m.

I believe noon to four is accurate for both workshops.
