Grow It. Make It. Know It
The Preble County Farm Bureau would like to invite the public to attend its Grow it. Make it. Know it. series starting on March 13. This is a four part series that will be teaching you how to stretch your budget by gardening, canning and freezing, sewing and making special homemade gifts for Christmas.
The first in the series is Gardening 101 on March 13 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Educational Service Center in Eaton. We want to help you prepare your land, teach you how to start seeds and when to plant them. Along with that we will be having breakout sessions where you can tailor your needs to traditional vegetable gardening, alternative gardening such as containers, orchards and berries and flower gardening.
The second in the series is canning and freezing 101 on May 15 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Grace Lutheran Church in Eaton. This part of the series will take you from the garden to your kitchen and teach you the different types of canning, canning tools and a demonstration of the canning process. We will also be discussing how to freeze fruits and vegetables and how to prepare them. We will also go over what fruits and vegetables are better canned or frozen.
The third part in the series is Sewing and Fibers on Sept. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Grace Lutheran Church in Eaton. This series will teach you some of the lost arts of sewing and fibers. We will have breakout sessions where you will learn to knit, crochet, quilt or learn the basics of sewing.
The final part of the series is Homemade Christmas on Oct. 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church in Eaton. At this final part you will be able to choose between four segments including soap making, candle making, candy making and card making/scrapbooking. The cost of the series is $5 per segment or $15 for all four parts of the series for Farm Bureau members or $7 per segment or $25 for all four parts of the series for non-Farm Bureau members. If you are interested please call the Preble County Farm Bureau office at 937-456-5400. The deadline for the first segment Gardening 101 is March 8.
