Teaching and sharing sustainable techniques for growing vegetables and fruit.
To develop a community of fellow gardeners who have the knowledge to grow, harvest and preserve their own food using both age old information and the latest, factual, organic and sustainable methods. Then to see these gardeners share their knowledge with children, neighbors and friends throughout their communities.
The Verde Thumbs brings together regional gardening experts, gardeners new to our region and novices just starting out. Even seasoned gardeners learn much from participant on how to effectively garden in our unique and challenging environment. All participants strive to use methods that respect the environment, conserve water and resources, and are pesticide and chemical free.
