Mark Kantermann: Microgreens for a Healthier Community

Mark teaches classes at the Soup Kitchen of Boynton Beach. 
Mark is a resident of Boynton Beach. Florida who is making a difference in his community. 
His mission: to promote health and wellness to our community through the most nutritious food source: microgreens. 
Microgreens are unique plants to grow. You can grow anything from broccoli to cauliflower in less than twelve days. They grow indoors, so no bugs, no chemicals, very little water. They need the correct equipment necessary to grow microgreens and it‘s inexpensive and includes soil, seeds, tray, light, and fan. 
According to many reports, microgreens are up to 40 times more nutritious than their fullgrown counterparts.
Mark will have take-home kits available for sale at this program. Please bring $20 cash if you would like one of your own.

Hello, all,
It was great to see everyone at the September meeting after our summer hiatus. Those of us who work hard at putting everything together each month surely deserve a vacation, but by September we are really missing you all. Mary, Ingrid, KC, Heather, Roland and Jeannie put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into the presentation on turmeric. We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did, and that your plants are doing well.
We are just now starting to get a very small break from the heat of summer, but my weather app tells me that it should improve by early November. I do hope it is not telling tall tales (it does, sometimes).
Many thanks to all those who helped at the Plant Sale. Special thanks to Dennis Hessing, who faithfully stores our tent between sales and delivers it and picks it up at every sale.
October‘s speaker will be Mark Kantermann, a teacher at the Boynton Soup Kitchen, who will talk to us about Microgreens.  Mark will have microgreen growing kits available for sale at his program. Please bring $20 cash if you want one for your very own.
October‘s Tasting Table theme is Halloween Treats. We‘re thinking things made with pumpkin or apples or pumpkin spice, cookies shaped like bats or jack o‘lanterns, spooky appetizers - not just bag candy. Of course, we never turn away anything!
In November we will have Jackie Reiter, a culinary garden designer. Her topic will be Herbs as Medicine. 
January brings Melissa Corichi from Let It Rot, doing a presentation on worm composting.
February we will have our annual
