GUEST INSTRUCTOR
Kenneth Point is an organic vegetable gardener on a mission to get more families out and growing in their own back yards. His focus has been in the areas of ornamental edibles, heirloom vegetables, and edible weeds and wild plants. Kenny was introduced to a survival and nature awareness school in New Jersey run by Tom Brown Jr. In addition to attending classes at the Tracker School, Kenny has practiced wilderness skills at Earthwalk Northwest in Washington State and primitive skills at the Virgin Island Sustainable Farm Institute in St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Today Kenny works as a Compliance Auditor at a medical center, but still manages to find time for hiking, camping, and raising organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Kenny also writes about his personal experiences in the garden over at the Veggie Gardening Tips website.
Join us after lunch on Sunday, August 21 to create a round basket using a variety of locally harvested leaves and vines. The 2 hour class will be given by award-winning basket maker Loretta Radeschi of Bedford, PA. Loretta’s inspiration for her baskets comes from Native American cultures, especially the Cherokee and Choctaw, her love of nature and the beauty of Bedford County’s ridges and valleys. Wool, llama fleece, leaves, branches, feathers, vines and bark are among the materials Loretta uses in her one-of-a kind baskets. Fee for the class is $20 including materials.
