Presenter Information: Sowing Circle Farm was founded in 2009 in the small front yard of Seth & Kenya's NE Portland home. Initially raising ducks and growing vegetables, they moved on to raising goats and keeping honeybees. The animals soon attracted so much attention that they found themselves giving impromptu workshops to curious passersby. Kenya is certified in organic gardening practices as well as Permaculture and has worked with Growing Gardens, the Multnomah Public Library and OSU Extension Service to teach workshops. Seth is the Farm Manager and is a self-taught arborist, plant propagator, and hugelkulture enthusiast.
Growing Gardens believes the seeds of a healthier world are planted in our own backyards. To learn more about Growing Gardens visit us at www.growing-gardens.org
