> Dryden Community Center Cafe.
>
> Join us this upcoming Tuesday, January 18th, for a discussion on

> family size, and plant varieties that do well in this area. Bring  
> your favorite seed catalogs!
>

> January is when we start planning our gardens; seed catalogs are the  
> best defense against cabin fever.
>
> Please attend and bring friends and spread the word and  
> encouragement that everyone can and grow some of their own food  
> either at home or at Dryden's Community garden. I still hear it  
> often, "I didn't know Dryden had a community garden."

> Join us for the first of a new series of free classes at Dryden  
> Community Center Cafe: Grow Your Own. A fresh topic on the third  
> Tuesday of every month 5:30 - 6:30.  Intended to be both a class and  
> a discussion group, lead by Kerra Quinn (Dryden Community Garden co- 
> founder and Garden Question Answerer At-large), all levels of know- 
> how are asked to attend; meaning - don't just come to learn, if you  
> have garden knowledge please come to share. Bring your favorite seed  
> catalogs.

> January's topic:
>
>                          Seed Selection
>                                      or
>                          Will I actually eat a rutabaga if I grow  
> them?
>                                       or
>                         How to not produce more zucchini than anyone  
> really needs.
>
> Choose your vegetables!
> Deciding that you want to grow your own food and need to have a  
> garden is easy. Deciding what to grow and how much seed you'll need  
> to buy and when and where and how to start planting can be daunting.  
> A gardener's all time favorite January event - seed catalog perusal.
>
> There will be nice pots of herbal teas from locally harvested plants  
> and homegrown mint.  Children are welcome. Be prepared to take notes.
