Her slide presentation will demonstrate growing crops in raised beds or in the ground. She will fill you with tips, hints, garden timing, new techniques, and old-time secrets culled from a lifetime of growing edible crops.

Many of us have collections of gardening and plant books amassed over a lifetime, and we even have books that we have inherited from our parents. I myself know that teachers and books are a viable two-way approach to gardening.
