Dear Partners in Gardening and Environmental Education,

I am sending you the Civic Garden Center’s 2013 class line-up in the hopes that you can share some or all of these listings with your constituents. Right now we have 60 classes scheduled for 2013 with more to come! Class topics range from organic vegetable gardening to composting to managing stormwater to wildlife friendly yards to fun programs for kids and everything in between. We hope you will share this exciting calendar of educational opportunities with the people who look to you as a resource. I will keep you updated as we add classes for the latter part of the year. I will also send out monthly emails with the class and event listings for the following two months.

Please let me know if you require this information in a different format or if there is anything I can do to assist in your spreading the word about the CGC’s programs. We create events for each class on our facebook page: facebook.com/civicgarden if you wish to share those.

Sincerely,

Ryan Mooney-Bullock
