October Monthly Meeting with speaker Kathryn Goodwin Gant
Kathryn Goodwin Gant will be telling us about her 20 years experience in sustainable farming and gardening. This now enables her to interact with, and educate kids, through Oklahoma City Harvest/OKC Beautiful. "We have the potential to positively impact thousands of children and their families each year by enabling school children to get their hands dirty and learn science, math, reading and more through experiences in the outdoor classroom. Bringing garden love to children, homeless youth and seniors is a joy for me, and I am honored to be able to do this work through the OKC Harvest program."
