“My Dirty Life” with speaker Doris Settles – Cancelled

From the event page on Facebook at https://fb.me/e/dKu4LRenr – Cancelled
Doris Settles has spent many hours digging in the dirt, and perhaps even more time encouraging others to do the same, giving keynotes and workshops all over Kentucky. Focused on the joys and benefits of gardening inside and out, Settles has done presentations at Juvenile Justice, Education and Mental Health conferences on the concepts behind the book No Child Left Inside addressing the “nature deficit” with nature and our society…especially children. Her picture books Leira Clara’s Flowers and Leira Clara’s Garden Journal encourage children to plant zinnias to spread joy. This talk includes a discussion of native and pollinator habitats, avoiding invasives, combined with a call to action to get outdoors and beautify and interact with the natural world. Settles is the author of five other books, serves as an Extension Master Gardener, is a co-founder and Vice President of Celebrate Lexington! nonprofit, and belongs to various herb and gardening societies.
