On February 25 the KFTC Big Sandy Chapter hosted the 8th annual Growing Appalachia conference. Folks from all across eastern Kentucky gathered at the Hindman Settlement School for a day of workshops on Kentucky wild edibles and medicinals, edible landscapes, saving money and energy through home energy efficiency, better gardening for beginner gardeners, and grafting apple trees. 

Thanks to everyone who came out for the day! And thanks to the local KFTC volunteers who helped plan the day, as well as our sponsors: MACED, Community Farm Alliance, Appalachian Roots and St. Vincent Mission.

Check out some photos from the day below:
