I spoke with a few people at Pringle Creek yesterday about their new Urban Farmer Certification program. Starting in January 2011, Pringle Creek will join Friends of Salem Saturday Market, OSU Master Gardener Program, and area farmers to teach a ten-month course on growing food in urban settings. Students will learn about garden planning, seeds, insects, composting, etc.
For more information on this great program, visit the Pringle Creek Community blog.
Note: Living Culture plans to cover this story in the coming months. Stay tuned!
