CHEROKEE SIERRA AUGUST PROGRAM: The Teaching & Learning Gardens

Monday, Aug 28 at 7PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 3224 Navajo Dr., Chattanooga 378411.  Our monthly free public meeting. (Note where it says Aug 19, that is the date this was posted, not the date of the event.) Presenter will be Dr. Jose Barbosa.  A professor at UTC, Dr. Barbosa is the primary faculty sponsor for the Teaching and Learning Garden, involving UTC students.   The Garden was able to produce organically over 2000 pounds of produce in its first year, which was donated to the Chattanooga Community Kitchen.  The Garden is a hands on learning space that addresses topics that UTC students care about-- like sustainability, local food economies, health and food production.  Dr. Barbosa will talk to us about his work with the gardens and how it connects with Sierra Club concerns on sustainability, clean air, clean water, clean food.
