$Today on Faces of DUG, meet Kourtnie: a first-year gardener at Maxwell School Community Gardener + future homesteader! “I found out about DUG through my school, where I also work part-time. I’m majoring in Environmental Science, and my advisor encouraged me to get connected. I’m from Louisiana, and we didn’t have access to community gardens there. Since I was young, I’ve had an interest in nature, wildlife, being outdoors, and growing things. It’s always been a part of me. My family had a garden plot for the first time last season at the Jardin de Esperanza Maxwell School Community Garden. I was pregnant with my fourth child at the time, and actually, my daughter was born a week ago! My ultimate goal is for my family to live on a homestead and grow all our own food. So before I started, I attended a DUG workshop to extend my knowledge. I was so impressed by all of the speakers and the effort that DUG put into it. Everyone was willing to give and help. Our first season went well, we’ve learned so much already! I met so many new people at Maxwell and loved seeing each of their unique gardening techniques.” Read more of Kourtnie\'s story at dug.org/faces-of-dug and check out our upcoming workshops at dug.org/events to get started with gardening.
