SUMMARY:Renee Wilkinson, Modern Homestead: Grow, Raise, Create
DESCRIPTION:Missed your chance to see Renee at the Farmer's Market as 
 part of the Whatcom County Farm Tour? Come hear her talk in the Readin
 gs Gallery of Village Books about Modern Homestead. Everything you eve
 r wanted to know about homesteading, all with a cool, modern style. Fr
 om windowsills to backyards, cities hold more potential for growth tha
 n just urban sprawl. We can grow vegetables, raise small livestock, an
 d fill our cupboards with canned decadence. Renee Wilkinson offers som
 ething for everyone, regardless of space constraints or green thumb kn
 ow-how.  Wonder what it takes to raise clucking chickens? Wilkinson wa
 lks you through every step. Musing about what will grow best on your b
 alcony or fire escape? She gives you garden designs and choices. Ponde
 ring what to do with your honey harvest? Try out a homemade lip balm r
 ecipe. Unsure of what to make with your bounty of herbs and veggies? A
  rustic yet elegant goat cheese and zucchini panini might just do it. 
  While Wilkinson may use her grandmother's old canning tricks or her a
 unt’s favorite recipes, this young, thoughtful gardener still manage
 s to make her spread her own, and delivers the best information on gro
 wing, raising, harvesting, and making from your own plot.  Renee Wilki
 nson is the creator of HipChickDigs.com, a popular website dedicated t
 o urban homesteading, edible landscape design, and sustainable living.
  Garden spade in hand, Renee is completing a graduate degree in landsc
 ape architecture and continues to inspire urbanites everywhere to get 
 their hands dirty in their own city homesteads. She lives on a tenthâ€
 “of–an–acre city lot in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and thr
 ee urban chickens.\nThis event is co-sponsored by Sustainable Connecti
 ons and Transition Whatcom.\n\nFor more information visit https://tran
