6 to 8 p.m. at Garfield Park Lodge

Growing food within the urban landscape presents its own challenges but yields wonderful benefits. Every household that grows its own food not only creates a healthier diet for its members (and neighbors) but also helps build an alternative to the profit-driven industrial food system that has devastated our health and the environment.

The June 6 class kicks off  OKT’s second series of four food gardening classes:

  •  June 13: How to Plan Your Food Garden 2
  •  June 20: Composting & Vermiculture
  • June 27: How to Save Seeds

All classes meet from 6 to 8 p.m. at Garfield Park Lodge, 334 Burton St. SE, 49507. They are free but donations are accepted from those not being served by OKT’s programs.
