Join the Penn State Master Gardeners of Cumberland County for the 2024 Gardening with Nature program series focused on creating beautiful gardens while prioritizing a healthy environment.Learn how to grow edible native plants with Ian Gardner, Owner of Green Gardner Designs LLC, on Thursday, July 18, 7:00-8:30pm. This “Gardening with Native Food” in-person program will be held in the Community Room at the Cleve J. Fredricksen Library at 100 N. 19th Street in Camp Hill. 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.
The cost is $5. Register by Wednesday, July 17, 2024. Register online at https://extension.psu.edu/gardening-with-nature-gardening-with-native-food or call Penn State Extension Registration Services toll-free at 1-877-345-0691. Walk-ins will be accepted if space is available.
Future program topics include wildlife-friendly gardening for birds and bees as well as stormwater-friendly lawn care.
