GREEN: Hawai'i's Sustainable Living Magazine is proud to be a Presenting Sponsor of the first annual Square Foot Gardening (SFG) Teacher Certification Training in Hawai'i. This one-of-a-kind training course will be led by Square Foot Gardening Founder Mel Bartholomew on May 20 - 22, 2010 at Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of O'ahu. This course also doubles as the launch of the World Hunger Symposium in the Pacific, a movement to raise funds to combat world hunger while teaching individuals how to be sustainable. All Hawai'i residents who register by March 1, 2010 will receive a discounted rate of $145 (regular price: $165) per person, or $195 (regular price $215) per household.

SFG Teacher Certification is the perfect opportunity for business owners, teachers, families or anyone interested in growing their own food to not only learn about sustainable gardening, but also become certified to teach this easy and efficient gardening process. Square Foot Gardening employs water conservation, uses no pesticides and requires much less space than a traditional garden. Growing your own food is one facet of a sustainable and healthy life, one that saves money, promotes self-sufficiency and reduces strain on the environment.

If you are interested in joining GREEN as a sponsor of this event or have any questions, please email Valerie Kon, the event coordinator for World Hunger Symposium - Hawaii Square Foot Gardening Foundation.
