UNG Peaks: " Planting by the Signs"

PEAKS (Personal Enrichment, Action and Knowledge Series): A collaborative program with the UNG Institute for Healthy Aging, Center for Appalachian Studies, and UNG Blue Ridge Campus.

This month's Guest Speaker will be Rosann Kent on the Topic of Platin' by the Signs: Appalachian Gardening Traditions.

When European settlers first came to these mountains, they brought with them traditions from the old world such as “planting by the signs,” a method of planting (and living) according to the moon’s phases and position in the zodiac. Only a few gardeners still plant by this method, and you too will be able to plant by the signs after spending an evening with Rosann Kent, Director of Appalachian Studies Center.
