SUMMARY:CHS September Meeting: ‘Hugelkultur Gardening & Sustainability’
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the September meeting. Join us as guest speaker\, Stephanie Smith explores the topic of ‘Hugelkultur Gardening & Sustainability’.  \nStephanie is an enthusiastic vegetable gardener with a unique approach. She grew up with a large\, traditional half-acre vegetable garden that provided much of her family’s food. For years\, she tried to replicate this style\, but the demands of family life with young children made traditional gardening (intense tilling\, bare soil) difficult. \nAbout five years ago\, a friend introduced her to hugelkulture and gardening with wood chips\, which completely transformed her gardening experience. She’s now a self-taught no-till gardener\, utilizing YouTube as a resource. Her greenhouse features hugelkulture beds\, and all her outdoor gardens are heavily mulched with wood chips\, with impressive results. \nStephanie’s background in biology has given her a deep understanding of building garden ecosystems and fostering biodiversity for optimal plant health. She often says\, “In truth\, I have a lot more fun watching all the creatures living in my greenhouse than eating the actual food I grow! Nature has spent billions of years fine-tuning the relationships between plants and animals\, so my philosophy is to work with nature and let it do what it is meant to do instead of relentlessly fighting against it.” \n​We invite you to join us and see what hugelkulture is all about! Presentation starts at 7:30pm.​ \nPlus: Youth Presentation – Summer Growing Challenge and Awards. 7pm Come early and catch the youth presentation – see what they have been doing in their gardens this summer and what has been growing! \n​Doors open at 6:30pm for placement of Flower Show exhibits. Must be placed by 7pm. \n​September Flower & Vegetable Show – We invite all members to bring in their garden treasurers. Check the Septmeber Show & Meeting in the Yearbook (page 30-31) for complete listing of classes. Questions? Conact Show Chair Angela Hennessey email: angrichennessey@gmail.com \nDoors open at 6:30pm for placement of Flower Show entries
