“Alternative Energy Systems for the Homeowner”
Learn how some of your neighbors are using alternative energy sources to be less dependent on the power company and fossil fuel sources. We have tried to focus on ways an average home owner can make changes that save money and use fewer non-renewable resources. Beth McGuinn will explain her solar PV (photovoltaic) and hot water systems that enabled her home to become a net-zero energy home. Stephen Buchanan Parker will describe his super efficient wood gasification system and Greg Heath will explain mini-split heat pumps, and Bob Reed the wood pellet boiler. And as always, Apple Pie and conversations with your neighbors will follow.
Please RSVP by registering HERE (Apple Pie from Canterbury Apples will be served)

Extend Your Growing Season! It's never too early to start!
Master Gardener Judy Elliott will present an overview of ways to get more out of your garden year round. Then, a panel of Canterbury residents will describe their experiences extending their garden usage:
Al Edelstein and Hillary Nelson (greenhouses), Jill McCullough (small walk-in hoop house), Judy Elliott (low hoops), Laurie Lockwood (creating micro-climates), with others chiming in. Come prepared to listen and share advice from your own experiences so that we all can take the next step in growing more of our own food.

Money Matters on February 20, 2014: Friend and neighbor, Julie Eades, President of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, will speak on the transition to a more cooperative economy. She will have lots to share on how we can use money to uplift us all. In her words, "Money is still one of those resources we have that we can direct through our values, IF we have a way to do it."
Localize the Economy...everyone benefits!

Nutritious Gardening on January 16, 2014!! Did you know that dark tomatoes, like Black Krim, have far more nutrients than other colors of tomatoes? What is your lettuce of choice? The dark red varieties have more vitamins than pale iceberg! White cauliflower is more nutritious than green broccoli and white peaches are more nutritious than yellow ones. Join our neighbor and food and garden writer, Hillary Nelson, as she shares about the latest research on the most nutritious fruits and vegetables, then plan a garden for maximum health.
Hillary will also be passing out Fedco Seed catalogs for anyone who'd like to take advantage of the Canterbury Group Fedco order, which has been saving up to 25% on seed and tuber orders for more than a decade. Hillary was a wealth of information! Access her notes HERE
