Welcome to #GREENisLIFE

Attention Greenies & Greenettes – March is headed out like a lamb and it’s officially showtime!

Another mild yet brutal winter season is over and the spring growing season is upon us!  A new beginning to reflect on those past failures, successes, or squandered opportunities, and dive into your 2018 gardening/farming/urban agriculture goals.  Green Thumb Diet starts NOW!

In this spirit of the season, the Mount Rainier Green Team has been brewing, or *composting*, some pretty exciting projects around our town’s impressively robust local agriculture scene.

Back in December for the first episode of our newly launched Q&A Video Series #GREENisLIFE, we sat down with urban farmer mastermind Brian Massey, and chatted on food policy, the role quality food plays in educating our youth, and the ins and outs of his fully sustainable, off-the-grid urban homestead here in town where he raises his family.  You can watch the video on our new youtube channel: http://bit.ly/greenislife.

But #GREENisLIFE was way too big of a concept to limit to the video series – so we are also proud to announce a Green Team #GREENisLIFE Live workshop series!  This workshop series will take place in conjunction with the M-NCPPC Mt. Rainier Nature Center at the 2018 Spring Greening Fair & Expo on Saturday April 14th from 12:30-5:00 pm (http://bit.ly/springgreenfair2018).
