On Site Visit We have been invited to visit the market and personal gardens of Paula Anderson, from Peterborough Green Up. At our February meeting, Paula introduced us to permaculture as related to improving the vegetables and fruits grown in our gardens. This on-site tour will give us a chance to see how Paula puts her teachings to practical use.
Members will meet at Trinity United Church at 6:15 p.m. to carpool. Directions will be sent out in the May newsletter for those who wish to meet us at the site.
