Presented by Kathryn Wadsworth and David Deardorff.

Learn to grow healthy, organic fruits and vegetables at home, by creating gardens that replicate nature. Using extensive photographs, this presentation will demonstrate the benefits of working in concert with the natural world.

KCLS invites everyone to find A Place at the Table! We’ll toss around fresh ideas about food, cooking, nutrition and growing and using locally produced food. In addition to offering new food ideas, preparation and planning skills, and handy online classes, videos and resources, the series will help everyone create a nourishing table by accepting non-perishable food donations, to be distributed to local King County food banks.
