The hands-on gardening class customized to the unique climate and conditions of the North Texas area is holding another class soon: DFW Citizen Gardener class #2 will span two mornings, on September 10 and 11 (Saturday and Sunday). The purpose of the class is to (re)introduce everyday people to one method of growing some of your own food in your backyard. It aims to give students the skills, knowledge, and encouragement to ‘go home and do it’ by themselves.
The location of the class is the Promise of Peace community garden which is located just southeast of White Rock lake in Dallas. “Promise of Peace is using the garden as a natural force to connect diversity and unite the community in living healthier happier lives”, says Elizabeth Dry, the proprietor of the garden. This is a great place to hold the class, as they have thriving a thriving community and productive gardens already in place.
Dick Pierce, permaculture guru from Austin, is traveling to Dallas one more time to teach this class, but the new Citizen Gardeners of DFW will be relied on to sustain the program and teach future classes after this.
