insights to bring back and share with the full group the following

to do it yourself, Ayn will go over the basics and help you to
figure out which techniques are right for you. Find out why it is
much more than just not using any pesticides. Ayn will go over
how to care for your garden. How to handle pests and diseases.
And how you can keep your garden organic.
