The Natural Garden offers a butterfly gardening class.
Who is that in my garden? How can I attract more?! Some butterflies, like the Monarch, are so easily recognized. But who else is visiting your flowers? We’ll talk a bit about identifying other common butterflies and how you can attract more to your garden. If weather permits, we will have some live butterflies to help us in our learning.

Home-grown in Kane County Found at the Geneva Green Market
In April of 2007 a group came together to form the Geneva Green Market, Not for Profit Group, a 501 (c) 3 that is devoted to education of the health-giving nature of locally grown food, sustainability and conservation of resources.
Local farmers offering locally grown food from within a 200-mile radius. Diverse arrays of products are offered, from organic baked good to free range eggs, hormone-free beef, pork, lamb, chicken, flowers, seasonally vegetables and raw/artisan cheeses. Free cooking demos and kid’s educational events.
When: June 4, 2009 through end of October 2009, every Thursday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Spring has finally sprung and the count down has begun for our first market on June 4th! This is the season of new beginnings. As we begin our third year, the market has grown to include more and varied vendors. In forthcoming newsletters, we’ll share a bit more about returning farmers, as well as new we welcome to the market. We are kicking-off our new Membership Program.
Our Speaker’s Bureau is underway offering lectures, workshops and classes in all areas of sustainability education. Focusing on education is an important goal for our group, teaching you how to make the best of your shopping from the farmer’s stand to your table.
What to do with all those vegetable peels, how worms can make a contribution and ways to eat locally, even in January. With excitement and anticipation we hope to share the many ways eating seasonally and locally can positively affect us all. Shop, attend, volunteer and join the Geneva Green Market, NFP. If we all participate our results will be fantastic!
