Find out in a free class what it means to be green, and how to implement dynamic changes in both home and garden. What does it mean to be truly sustainable? How on this green earth can we possibly make a real difference that counts? NEW! Let’s start a dialogue about valuing the Earth and becoming connected with nature. Focusing on your home and the garden, this mother and daughter team will help guide you along a dynamic journey to a sustainable lifestyle that’s not only easily attainable, but also highly fulfilling, so we can all become better stewards of our amazing planet. Three years ago Gina Woods (mother) and Marianna Archibald (daughter) decided they needed to do more to help reverse global warming and climate change, so they joined forces and created Mother Daughter Earth, which provides environmental education through a highly informative podcast, in blogposts, and on Instagram. Learn what the local gardener and homeowner can do to address climate change and effect real, eco-conscious change at home and in the landscape in this presentation.
