A two-day intensive workshop focused on natural/organic approaches to beekeeping, apiculture, and apitherapy will be held on May 22-23, 2010 at Rise Up Farm in Elkhart.

A beginner’s session will take place from 9am-12pm on Saturday morning to prepare those with little or no experience for the rest of the workshop.

The workshop will be hosted at RISE UP FARM– a permaculture garden and diversified organic vegetable farm in Elkhart, IN.

The workshop will be led by Ross Conrad, author of “Natural Beekeeping” and natural beekeeper of over 20 years.

Community gardens in Berkeley

I was in the San Francisco Bay area this past weekend and stumbled upon an Earth Day celebration in Berkeley. The Berkeley Community Gardening Collaborative was represented there.
It was great to see another gardening project similar to the one in Elkhart County. Of course, the ones in Berkeley started in the 60’s and has many school gardens, non-profit gardens, community gardens, training gardens and more.  Maybe someday Goshen/Elkhart will be like Berkeley.
