Teaching from the BUF 2022
Last year in response to the pandemic, we initiated Teaching from the BUF, a bi-weekly on-line educational program for Berea households interested in growing some of their food. We are back in 2022 to share our experience and knowledge, and to provide a forum for you to ask questions and share your gardening successes and challenges with others.
We will meet via zoom on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 10 am to 10:45 am. There will be a 15-minute lesson on a timely gardening topic, 15 minutes about what is happening on the Berea Urban Farm, and 15 minutes for questions and sharing by participants. Both new and more experienced gardeners are welcome.
