“GROW IT, EAT IT” CAMPAIGN COMES TO WESTMINSTER
Maryland Master Gardener Diane Brown to host educational

Westminster, MD – On Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 6:30 pm Maryland Master Gardener Diane Brown will be making a “Grow It, Eat It” presentation at the Westminster City Hall. She will be teaching basic food gardening “how-to” tips and techniques to interested residents. The “Grow It, Eat It” campaign is the University of Maryland Extension’s response to the huge new demand for information and assistance with starting and maintaining successful food gardens. Master Gardeners across Maryland have spent the past year working to educate their communities on the joys of gardening.

The one-hour presentation is free. Ms. Brown will provide information and assistance on sustainable, successful food gardens in your backyards. If residents have limited space or live in an apartment, she will also show participants how to start a container garden or how to join a local community garden.

Please contact Melissa Hynes at 410-848-7967 or at mhynes@westgov.com for more information on attending the presentation and/or joining a local community garden.
