Did you know that our grocery stores only stock a three-day supply of food? Or that the average meal travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate?

Whether you want to save money, be ready for that next ice storm, or just eat a better tasting tomato, then local food is the answer.

Whether you think you don’t have enough room to grow food, already garden but want to do so more intensively (and even use your front yard!), or are interested in community gardens, please join us on Monday, April 13, from 6:30 to 8 PM in the AE/MS library to explore resources for creating more edible landscaping in our yards and village streets.

This interactive discussion of perennial agriculture techniques that support affordable, attractive, delicious, and resilient sources of food will be led by Jennifer White, Andover resident and Director of Sustainability at Colby-Sawyer College. The event is free of charge and is sponsored by the Andover Community Association. For more information, contact Susan Chase at 735-5135 or at SRFChase@nullaol.com.
