Why Green Awareness is a pre-requisite to Sustainable Living?

Let my Educational green  work   answer  and not simply my words!

Talk is cheap they say...But walking your talk or walking the walk is the real thing!

 Don't ask me about how many successes I had , but rather how many times I fell and failed and kept on trying to succeed .When there is a "Will , there is a Way" . Persistence, repetition, and endurance have their merits in EDUCATION!

Why Lake Worth to start with? It was there where m first Organic Gardening Workshop sponsored by CDC , took place at Chief Sitting Bull Organic Community garden back in 2003.

Also it was there where I fascilitated " Composting 101" at the Palm Beach State College at their Green expo 2011 and prior to that I offered a series of composting  workshop  for the City of Lake Worth  2010-2011.

Then came the third wave of classes in 2013,  I was invited to  the Lake Worth Public library last October  .Talking about library classes,  I want to mention the  series  of gardening workshops at the Mendell WPB public library.

The last library series Organic Gardening  workshop  was at  Boca Raton  .All of the above were FREE .Giving back to the community is the RIGHT THING to do ..and say" THANK YOU"  in action!!

Your  library ,church , synagogue , community center , wellness center ,hospital , school ,Yoga Center, and non -profit organization  is next. Simply send us a reply if you are interested or just mention to erase  your address  from our email list. Our classes and workshops are FREE for non-profit organizations.

The classes are ongoing and continue to be advertised at my web :localharvest.org/farms/M20618 or at the Natural Awakening Magazine PBC edition:" Mark Your Calender" section..

Many heart felt "Thanks You" to those who supported and sponsored my workshops  classes. They know who they are

I was fortunate enough , my workshop coincided time wise with  the efforts by the city of Lake Worth to put a control  lid on the FREE utilization of Chemical Fertilizers through  a "Fertilizer Friendly" ordinance,  in compliance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ..

As reported by the Lake Worth Herald (issue #42 October 17 ,2013,page 10):"Phosphorous and nitrogen ,the primary nutrients associated with the degradation of surface water ,are commonly  the primary components of fertilizers for turf and landscape application."

I believe in EDUCATING the public on Local Organic Gardening to raise the GREEN AWARENESS. We can change the world one local  garden at a time ,growing greens that replenish our air and soil and create a GREENER ENVIRONMENT for our children.

I have been Urban farming/gardening and fascilitating workshops since I graduated from UF Master Gardener Program back in 2001. I believe in LOCALLY GROWN  EDUCATION Tropical  Horticultural Education and Hands On Farming Experience in S. Florida are complementary and go hand in hand .

You need to learn "Farming and Gardening" the S. Florida Tropical way , from someone who lived,studied and worked the  S. Florida soil. Tropical farming is different but not difficult! The teacher will show up when the student is ready. Are you ready?

Wishing you ALL  : Merry Christmass ,  Happy New Year 2014 ,  Happy Hanokah,   Happy Gardening!
