About this Event:
Located in Northside Neighborhood, this suburban site offers an example of how a lawn can be transformed into a landscape that offers organic home food production, more sustainable landscape management, and incorporation of indigenous plantings to improve the local ecosystem. While we cannot produce all of our own foods, we can - and do - strengthen the food security in our home by growing as much as we can on site. Our home food costs can also be greatly reduced when we are able to grow hundreds, to thousands, of pounds of high quality foods in our home gardens for our family. Additionally, the methods used offer habitat for native species, pollinators, and other wildlife. Win/win/win for home gardening!

Travel Tip: The Parnell Avenue Bridge by Johnny Appleseed Park is closed. Please be sure to check for an alternate route.

About Plant Happiness:
Plant Happiness offers educational opportunities to the community though individual classes, courses, and on-site consultations visits to encourage healthy growing of organic foods, soils, and ecosystems. I also offer design services to assist in the planning and implementation of sustainable and regenerative practices in any setting.
