Branching Out Lecture Series: The Backyard Homestead

Presented by Carleen Madigan

Sunday, May 19 at 11 am and 2:30 pm in the Visitor Center Auditorium

Free for Members
$25 for non-Members.

Lucky enough to live on an acre of land where she can have a large garden, Madigan is especially fortunate to be part of a community of people who have been living the homestead life for decades.  They not only grow their own vegetables and fruit, they raise and process their own chickens, share skills and equipment, save seeds, and barter for what they need. In this talk, Madigan will share some of what she’s learned from these longtime homesteaders about how to create a resilient community beyond the backyard homestead.

We are sorry, but both lectures are sold out. Please call 610.388.1000 to be added to the wait list.
