Growing Literacy: 2025 Winter Garden Workshop Series 

Please join us for our annual Winter Garden Workshop series: Growing Literacy. This year we are proud to host five workshops through collaboration with Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust, Growing to Give and Curtis Memorial Library.  Bring your curiosity, questions, and join us!

Climate change is impacting all impacts of our food system, and our farmers close to home are feeling these effects throughout the growing season. Join us to hear from Allison Bistline-East

and Breonna Fink from Maine Farmland Trust to learn more about climate resilience and climate change planning for farmers and Maine. Nate Drummond from Six River Farm will present about the changes experienced on his family’s farm and the adaptations they are making. Participants will leave ready to face the challenges of growing in the age of climate change and with a renewed appreciation for our local farms. 

The Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust  (BTLT) conserves and stewards vital natural areas, supports a vibrant food system, and connects people with the natural world through inclusive education and recreation programs in the Brunswick region. Our goal is to protect our natural resources, cultivate care for the natural world, and in so doing foster resilient connected communities for now and for generations to come. 

Curtis Memorial Library is a public library of Brunswick and Harpswell, Maine. Curtis Memorial Library strives to enrich the quality of life in this region by building community, advocating for reading, championing social justice and digital equity, and promoting sustainability. 

Growing to Give grows organic produce to support those in the community struggling with food insecurity while modeling, educating, and advocating for climate-friendly farming practices. Working with a robust network of volunteers and community partners, Growing to Give has grown and donated over 80,000 lbs of produce since its inception in 2017.
