Straw Bale Gardening
People who attend this program will learn how to do prepare and maintain a straw bale garden. As this type of a garden is one that can be done in a large or small space, it will be something that many people can do regardless of where they make their home. Being in a rural area, most of the supplies needed for this kind of gardening are readily available to our patrons, so we hope to see more straw bale gardens around this coming summer!
The people who attended both of these events had very positive responses to the presentations that Joel Karsten made. Many of them were surprised at how easy the process of straw bale gardening can be and felt that coming to the presentation made them confident that they would be able to make their own straw bale garden. In fact, in driving around the area, it looks as though that straw bale gardens are starting to pop up at several homes and farms. Many people indicated that they would like to attend more programs similar to the program that Joel put together as well.
ACGC provided space for the program.
