Just Food: Setting the Table for a Sustainable Future (SEJC sponsored)

Dr. Karen Bentley offers a perspective on the links between food justice and environmental sustainability, and outlines how our lifestyles and foodways can help build a better future. She is co-founder and past-chair of Sustainable Mountain Living Communities in Clayton, Georgia.

Locavore Luncheon Potluck. Are you a locavore? You are if you depend on fresh, local foods for your menu. If not, try this for your July offering. Instead of pulling down the tried and true recipe book, visit your local farmers' market or farm stand, and build your recipe around what's in season. That's a locavore!

Adam will provide background on food insecurity in WNC and explain the goals of WNC Gardens That Give using the Cullowhee Community Garden as an example. The Cullowhee Garden, a project supported by the Jackson County Board of Health, requires gardeners to donate half of their produce to local food relief agencies.

Soil is Life

Hand in SoilAdam Bigelow. 2015 is International Year of Soils. Soil is the living skin of the Earth. Yet, as environmentalist Vandanna Shiva has noted, we seem to have declared war against the soil itself. There is a paradox here. How will we define the winners and losers of this conflict? And is there cause for optimism? Lest we forget, the soil is an intimate and essential part of the interdependent web of all life of which we are a part.

Adam Bigelow is Garden Manager for the Cullowhee Community Garden. For more information, please visit Facebook.com/Cullowhee Community Garden.

Join us for this service sponsored by the SEJC Committee.

The Wildflowers of Southern Appalachia

Hand in SoilAdam Bigelow. The forest floor comes alive in the springtime, with Flowers!

Have fun learning about the Spring Wildflowers of Southern Appalachia with Adam Bigelow.  We will discuss identifying wildflowers using ID Guides and keys, hear the stories of the plants; their many names, benefits, uses; and their relationship to each other, the forest, and to us. And, there will be many beautiful pictures of wildflowers
