ECO-CULTURE
Culture and nature go hand in hand. Without clean water, clean air, clean food, a healthy environment and sustainable and regenerative design practices, cultures cannot survive. Raíces Cultural Center recognizes the essential role that sustainable living and eco-consciousness plays in the preservation of culture and of life itself. Raíces Eco-Culture programming fosters exploration, study and application of ecological, sustainable, and "green" practices for individuals, families and communities to build a future where culture and nature can flourish and thrive.


SUSTAINABILITY STUDY GROUP MEETING ON MONDAY!

Monday, February 6, 7-9 PM
Suggested Donation $3
TOPIC: Winter Sowing & Spring Garden Planning

It's been so warm, it feels like spring, and there are a lot of people ready to start gardening. Everyone who comes to Monday night's Raíces Eco-Culture meeting will get to start planting NOW! This month's meeting will focus on gardening with a workshop on winter sowing, spring garden planning, a seed swap and community garden film clips and discussion.


More about the winter sowing workshop from the presenter Ellen Rosner:

Got those Winter Blues? Feel like Spring will never come?
"Winter Sowing" is the answer.

Winter Sowing is a simple inexpensive method of sowing seeds outdoors in the winter.

The benefits:
  • get your hands in the dirt
  • no need for expensive, bulky lighting set-up
  • most seeds germinate easily and the plants are hardy
  • easy to plant out in the garden, no hardening off needed

In this free workshop you will learn the basics of Winter Sowing and you will take home with you at least one sown container ready to go outside.

What to bring: large scissors, permanent marker, seeds if you have (We will supply all participants with additional seeds.)
