Talbot County Garden Club Free Public Lecture: Community Gardens - Digging in the Dirt with Neighbors

Explore the benefits of COMMUNITY GARDENS at the Library in Easton with TERESA SPEIGHT, author, garden writer, urban/estate gardener, garden coach specializing in earth-friendly practices, and organic Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm expert. Teresa will describe how community gardens can strengthen a community by expanding a green space beyond its expected yield of fruits, vegetables and flowers to become a social destination where neighbors can gather to connect with nature, secure multi-generational friendships and realize a greater awareness of community need. With ancestral sharecropper roots originating in North and South Carolina, she considers connecting with the earth authentic. She promises, likewise, to imbue program attendees with her love of gardening and respect for the earth and with the impetus to reimagine community garden possibilities.
