Backyard Self-Sufficiency and Preserving with Helen Wilson
Join us for an inspiring evening with Helen Wilson, as she shares her journey into backyard self-sufficiency and food preserving.
Helen is passionate about growing, harvesting, preserving, and enjoying produce from her thriving vegetable garden and diverse orchard. Her garden includes espaliered apples and pears, stone fruit, citrus, and berries — and she’ll explain how the Fowlers Vacola method helps her make the most of every harvest.
Helen will also talk about what self-sufficiency means to her and how anyone can apply these ideas at home, whether you have a large garden or just a small space to grow.
We hope you can join us!
