Monica Moran Brandies
Topic: "Sustainable Gardening"
Thursday, September 25, 7 p.m., Learning Center Auditorium
All of the air we breathe, the water we use and drink, and the soil from which we get our food is recycled from the beginning of time. So why should we be surprised to know that we can have a sustainable garden, and that it is actually easier than using all the methods that damage the environment? Monica Moran Brandies calls it “Common Sense Gardening” and she has been doing it for years in several states. In the course of one evening you can move from being part of the planet’s problems to being part of the solution. Information: www.ambler.temple.edu/culturalseries.
