[RP TownTalk] Think warm thoughts-- upcoming organic gardening workshop

[kathy galleher]

Dear Friends
In the midst of the sub-zero weather, I thought I'd inject a note of hope for warmer days and  pass on some information about an  Organic Gardening Workshop, offered this spring in Mt. Rainier by a local woman who is a friend of mine. She's great and I think you'll find it really helpful and informative if you are trying to get started with organic gardening in your yard.   Here is the information:
