Longtime valley farmer and educator, Rose Cherneff of Gardening for the Future, is running a monthly course from February – October 2024 about growing food for social and climate resilience.

What are the concrete gardening skills needed to grow food in the face of climate change? How do we build a resilient community while growing food for the future?

We are living in rapidly changing times. This year was filled with fires and floods, the year before was a drought. Societal forces seek to separate and divide us. And yet, the earth offers itself as a source of nourishment through it all. How can we learn to work with the earth in the face of all this change? How can we grow food in ways that help build resilient communities?

This course, called “No-till Gardening for a Resilient Future” meets once a month for 9 months from February 2024-October 2024 and guides you through the growing season, with lessons geared towards the upcoming month’s gardening tasks. Readings and other educational opportunities will be provided in-between classes.

Each of the class topics will be explored through the lens of climate and social resilience. This course will deepen one’s connection to the natural world through a scientific, social, spiritual, emotional, and creative lens. There will be space to share knowledge participants bring to the topics, as well as to ask questions specific to your gardening projects and interests.

There will be two cohorts of this course- please choose the time and day that works best for you.
