Dear Gardeners,
My name is Lauren Caruso and I’m a volunteer with the Urban Agriculture Working Group in Rochester. We are organizing a conference on urban agriculture and gardening, From Plants to Power: Bringing Rochester’s Gardeners Together, on March 19 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm at Wilson Foundation Academy. (see attached flyer for more info),
If you are receiving this email, it is because you have indicated an interest in receiving information about educational opportunities related to community gardening on your permit application with the City of Rochester.
