RENU NIAGARA: Free organic gardening classes offered

“Fresh Food for the Falls,” a green gardening workshop series will be presented in February through April by ReNu Niagara.

The series will include organic gardening practices for those who are beginning a garden or interested in learning to “green” their garden and make it more earth friendly.

“It’s an opportunity for residents to learn a little bit more about organic gardening and to try to get more people to participate in community gardening,” said Lacey Severson of ReNu Niagara which is Niagara University’s community outreach and partnership center.

The classes are free and run Feb. 6 through April 24 at either the Niagara Falls Housing Authority Doris W. Jones Family Center, 3001 9th St., Niagara Falls or the Henry J. Kalfas Magnet Elementary School, 1800 Beech Avenue.

Yes. Items should be taxed like they are everywhere else.
No, the indian reservations are sovereign land and they are selling them on their land.
Not up to me. Native Americans decide the rules on their land.
Don't care. Smoking isn't good for you.
