Fostering soil, wildlife and ecosystem health is at the core of Great Day Garden‘s mission as a farm. With a focus on growing healthy produce and flowers for the Lynchburg area community, this woman owned and operated farm is a model of human-scale ecological farming for the future.

Join us for a Land & Table potluck and farm tour at Great Day Gardens in Forest, Virginia, Tuesday, June 16 (6-8pm) as we explore the various layers of Great Day Gardens ecological approach to farming with owner / farmer Arden Jones. We’ll examine their holistic approach:

  • Reducing tillage.
  • Creating pollinator habitat.
  • Natural pest management.
  • NO to GMOs, synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and artificial fertilizers.
  • We source biological soil amendments.
  • Making compost, plant cover crops, and applying copious amounts of straw and wood mulch.

This monthly learning group is open to the public and is family friendly*. 

*A parent is required to attend children throughout the event. Child-care is not provided.

  • A healthy dish to share (it’s a potluck!).
  • Your own dishware.
  • Your own drink.
  • Lawn chair.
  • A friend (of course)!
  • Your family 🙂
