Interested in finding simple yet impactful ways to weave wellness into your professional and personal life?  If so, please join faculty and staff colleagues for Wellness Wednesdays the first Wednesday of each month. Each session offers information, resources, and/or immersion into different wellness modalities that are supported at UMBC. 

Are you committed to healthy eating this year and want to do it on the cheap? Curious about how you can grow your own edibles right at home? In this interactive session with veteran kitchen gardeners, Marsha Velli and Mark Jarzynski, you will learn how to get started (what, where, how to plant) and maintain your garden, safe ways to reduce pests, and how to select best fruits and veggies for your garden.  Leave with seeds to get started!

Space is limited and registration is required.  Registration deadline is Friday, March 30th. Register at https://my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/56070
