SUMMARY:A Workshop for Sustainable Soil Management on Organic Vegetable Farms
DESCRIPTION:Please join Ryan Voiland (Red Fire Farm)\, Nancy Hanson (Hampshire College Farm)\, Sandy Bell (University of Connecticut)\, and Beth Hooker (Hampshire College) for an informative and interactive workshop on Saturday\, April 6\, 2013. \nThis workshop is designed for participants to share experiences and learn about practices aimed to promote optimal soil health. We will identify factors that contribute to soil nutrient problems\, discuss the role of soil testing in promoting soil health\, identify ways to address problems and promote practices that increase soil health\, and identify next steps to achieve and maintain optimal soil health on participants’ farms. \nThis workshop is funded by a Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grant. Ultimately\, the research will inform our goal of creating a unified\, regional approach to promoting sustainable soil health on organic vegetable farms. \nTo register (it is free\, but we would like to know how many people are coming) click here! \nor email bhooker@hampshire.edu

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual pvSustain Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate with pvSustain and Judy Wicks.  Judy Wicks founded the White Dog Café on the first floor of her Philadelphia row house in 1983. As the restaurant grew\, so did her notion that the strength of her business relied upon the quality of its locally grown ingredients. Envisioning how strengthening relationships among independent\, community-rooted enterprises could inspire profound social change\, she founded the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia in 2001\, and co-founded the nationwideBusiness Alliance for Local Living Economies that same year. Judy also founded Fair Food in 2000\, dedicated to building a local food system in the Philadelphia region. In 2009\, she sold the White Dog through a unique agreement that preserves local\, independent ownership and maintains sustainable business practices\, including buying from local farmers\, composting and using renewable energy. Her book\, Good Morning\, Beautiful Business was published by Chelsea Green\, in March\, 2013.  Click here for more information on how to register.

SUMMARY:Medicinal Plants in the Landscape: Catalysts for Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Todd Lynch\, landscape architect. \nRestoration in the landscape typically means ecological restoration\, such as the restoration of coastline after Katrina\, or human health restoration through practices like horticultural therapy.  A central challenge to the landscape architect is how to get people into the landscape and deepen their connections to the world around them. \nThis talk will address the question\, Can medicinal plants in the landscape be a means to restore not only macro-scale ecological systems\, but also such micro-scale systems as our day-to-day health?  Todd will share several projects that explore these questions and that feature medicinal plants as part of an overall design response.
