May we individually and collectively be ever self-reliant. This is our heritage and our obligation. The Lord has urged that his people save for the rainy days, prepare for the difficult time, and put away for emergencies, [3 months] supply or more of bare necessities so that when the flood, the earthquake, the famine, the hurricane, the storms of life, our families can be sustained through the dark days." - President Spencer W. Kimball

Thanks to all who participated in the gardening class in any way! Teachers, Children Helpers and Listeners! It was a great class. We talked about
- Enriching your soil with compost
- Space and money saving
- Backyard Chickens
- What to plant and how to plan your garden
and much more! Be sure to check out the handouts from the class below and in the side bar under gardening! There are also many helpful website links to teach you about gardening in the sidebar.

·                     Handout - Back Yard Chickens
·                     Handout - Composting

·                     Handout - Seeds to Plant

If you know of any other good ones or have any knowledge or information to share, just email Emily at providentpreparation@gmail.com

Another gardening tip from a ward member, Adele Polley: 
Being a Hairdresser I would save all the hair on one day of the week for my Grandparents, if you spread human hair the oils in the hair will keep animals away from your garden. It was great, after awhile a lot of people would come in and ask for hair.
 
I don't know if this is for gardening but if you spread moth balls around your yard, the outside of your yard it will keep skunks away.
