SUMMARY:Club Meeting: Dylan Terry - Edible Gardening in Florida
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dylan Terry\, owner of Ready to Grow Gardens \nTopic: Edible Gardening in Florida \nBio: Ready-to-Grow Gardens is owned by Miami native\, Dylan Terry. He began gardening as a teenager. While a student\, he managed New College of Florida’s edible garden. Since then\, he has planned\, installed\, and maintained organic edible gardens all over South Florida. Garden sites include homes\, schools\, businesses and retirement communities. The vision of Ready-to-Grow Gardens is to give people access to local\, nutritious and safe food sources through accessible organic edible garden design\, installation\, and maintenance. In this globalized economy\, an enormous amount of energy is used just in the transportation of food\, and the actual creation of the food has led to countless irreversible environmental problems. There is much work to be done to improve the system in which we get food and the way in which it is produced. \n
