Topics will include growing cilantro and other herbs, preventing diabetes, using a GPS, retirement planning, fermenting foods, heating with wood, raising peonies for fun and profit, using iPhones, doing Zumba, producing “powerhouse veggies” and more. The Powerhouse Veggies class will cover how to grow certain nutrition-packed vegetables and why.
