GARRETT COUNTY — Saving the Earth begins at home, and the “Green Gardens to Green Homes” workshop aims to help homes become greener places.
A dozen women converged on a former general store in Deep Creek Lake State Park for the workshop in mid-April. There they learned about ways to make their home lives more Earth-friendly, and how to grow and preserve their own food.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources planned the workshop in response to requests made at its annual Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop each fall. Those workshops have included classes in vegetable gardening, canning and preserving, and greening the home.
