Sustainable Gardening for Homes and Communities is the theme for the garden conference in Payson, August 27-28, 2010 at the Mazatzal Casino on Highway 87. Attendees may choose from fifteen presentations, demonstrations and site visits on aspects of sustainable gardening.
Morning keynote address:
"My Ordinary Extraordinary Yard!" by Greg Peterson
Discovering the Garden beyond your Garden. In so many ways our gardens have been relegated to the 10x10 plot in the back corner of our yards. Join Greg as he explores our gardens beyond the plot and then beyond our yard into the world. Greg shares how his Urban Farm has impacted the community and shows you how you can begin creating your own urban farm.
Afternoon keynote address:
"Why We Garden" by David Wann
Gardening reconnects and heals. In the garden, life’s struggles, snags and snafus decompose into rich, black earth as we touch, smell, see, and taste where we live. The good news is that the insights and strengths we gain while planting a tomato seedling can also help us create more sustainable communities, policies, and designs.
