The Backyard Farmer workshop series will be led by educator
Margaret Von Der Meden, who many of you may know from our
children's "Life on the Farm" programs, which she
has developed for the past year for Something Good in the
World at Hilltop Hanover Farm. Margaret's approach is always
hands-on, so you can be sure to have an all around sensory
experience in her classes. She is a passionate organic farmer,
beekeeper, naturalist, and a real font of information about
herbs, plants, flowers, and just about anything else you can
find in your own backyard. Download
