Join us at the private vegetable garden of Jill Davies to learn about market gardens, what grows well in Montana, and how to grow it. From trees to veggies, from bees to chickens, she's doing it all! If you are interested in starting your own garden for home cooking or selling at the market--no one knows more!
Jill Davies got her bachelors degree in mathematics, but after a taste of graduate school changed course and went into more holistic studies.
She studied Biodynamics in England in the early '70's; worked in the gardens on a commune in the French Alps; and on a Biodynamic truck farm in Switzerland before returning to the US.
She went back to England in 1999 to attend a course at Schumacher College on biotechnology in agriculture and has been active in that issue ever since.
She is a leader in permaculture/gardening practices in the Bitterroot, having started the Victor community garden, the Not-For-Profit Sustainable Living Systems, and is on the board for the Bitterroot Climate Action Group.
