[TheUWfarm] work manana and seed saving with devon pena Thursday @ 4:30

Hello everyone! I hope all is well in your fall fresh filled days, and your fingers, toes, and nose stay warm. I am going to be working at the farm tomorrow from 10:30-1:30 for fun stuff like planting garlic, brainstorming about pest control and other farmy things.
Also Agroecology professor Devon Pena will be talking to his class about seed saving from a calabaza (squash: I think Hubbard) last spring grown in the farm's Milpa (traditional Mexican kitchen garden) this summer, on Thursday October 28th @ 430. This will be a great educational experience!

Best,
Nina
p.s. this was a really interesting clip (11 minutes) about education that was sent out last week through the CHID list serve.

FARM= alternative learning space!!!!! How would you answer this question: Why have an urban farm nested within a university like the UW?.... just something to ponder.

p.p.s sorry if you get this email twice i'm trying to use a different email account for farm emails and was having difficulty
