Gardening For Food Security

Easy Year Around Staples You Can Grow!

A Power Point Program with Harvest McCampbell

~ Cover Slide ~  Participant Comments ~

~ Description ~

Your garden can provide beautiful landscaping and fresh gourmet food throughout the year!  Harvest McCampbell shows us how to grow a nutritionally complete year around diet--including protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, and important vitamins and minerals.  She shares, through photos and simple text, how fall and spring plantings can provide fresh food everyday of the year in many climates.  Many easy to grow foods that can be stored are also highlighted, which will provide for essential nutrition during the cold and lean seasons.   

This program is designed as an open ended outline for group discussion.  Participants are actively encouraged to contribute comments and questions using a model styled after traditional talking circles.  The personalized process lends itself to the needs of the group; and is appropriate for those interested in learning basic Bio Diverse gardening techniques, preserving food, or providing for their family’s nutritional needs.  A handout is included; it covers sources for more information and an outline of the nutritional benefits of the covered garden crops, planting times, and food storage. 

 
Please allow one and a half hours for the presentation, plus set up and clean up time.  (If a shorter presentation is needed, group discussion can be minimized.  However, the more the group participates the more they are likely to learn and retain.)  The program can be adapted to the hard and soft ware available at your site. (A portable power point projector can be brought to your site—however it is only effective in dark rooms.)  Please advise on the available technology when inquiring about the presentation.

Presenter, Harvest McCampbell, is the author of Food Security & Sustainability for the Times Ahead and former organic gardening columnist for the Hoopa Tribe’s newspaper, the Two Rivers Tribune.  She shares first hand information from over thirty years of gardening experience as well as information from her reading and research.  Writing samples and biographical information can be found on her web site: http://www.HarvestMcCampbell.com  Contact Ms. McCampbell for more information or to schedule a presentation by e-mail: harvest95546@yahoo.com

“Harvest’s Power Point inspired me to grow Jerusalem Artichokes in our garden.  I especially like the idea of dry farming since we have very little water for watering.”

“Harvest’s presentation made my dream of a sustainable home garden seem not only possible, but exciting and easily doable.”

“Harvest, it looks great! I think it's perfect for your "pass the pen" method of presentation; which, by the way, I wish everyone would do with Power Point instead of just reading the slides. It's brilliant! My dad was an organic gardener and raised a lot of these crops. My parents canned, froze and dried a lot of our food when I was growing up. So thanks for the memories!”

“I threw a difficult and testy question at Harvest about how I might get high on “fatty acid” and she calmly informed us all of the nutritional necessity of fatty acids for cell membrane health, etc., etc..  This woman knows her stuff!”
