Fredricksen Library has teamed up with Penn State Master Gardeners of Cumberland County to bring you a series of workshops about creating a garden while preserving a healthy environment. This month's topic is Gardening with Native Food. The majority of food that the average American consumes comes from industrial food systems and is comprised of exotic plants native to other countries.  For the past 300+ years we have largely neglected the edible plants and indigenous food system of the Eastern U.S.  By relearning how to grow edible native plants, we can grow healthy and sustainable food, support wildlife and reconnect with nature. Presenter is Ian Gardner, owner of Green Gardner Designs LLC. $5.00 fee payable to Master Gardeners at the door.
