TIEG Monthly Meeting

The Inland Empire Gardeners is scheduled to meet the first Thursday of the month (except Dec) at 4pm at Shadle Library, 2111 W Wellesley Ave

Amy Cross is the founder and CEO of The Cross Legacy, an online community helping people make their grocery habits more sustainable and affordable. She is presenting “The Art of Food Preservation” on Thursday, March 2, 2023 at the Shadle Park Library, 2111 W Wellesley Ave, Spokane, WA. Amy will be sharing about how to preserve food items in order to make them last longer. Amy has tips for over 60 different food items for storage and preservation. She went viral for her post, Strawberries in a Jar and it has been shared over 18 million times. After perfecting instructions for washing, drying, and storing produce, she is able to have zero produce waste in her kitchen. As an urban homesteader herself, she grows her own food and is proud to be able to take the food that she has grown and use it to feed her family. Amy’s goal is to help families and communities with saving money on groceries--most notably by eating what they buy. The average American household throws away 30 to 40% of the food they purchase. An accomplished speaker, author, and social influencer, the information Amy shares helps families save money and be able to afford fresh produce. She is a TEDTalk Speaker and presented her talk, How Strawberries Changed my Life, at Spokane TEDx last fall. She is excited to share her knowledge with Inland Empire Gardeners and help you to save money on your groceries as well. 

The Inland Empire Gardener’s newsletter is called “The Growing News” and is a national award-winning publication. It is published 11 times a year--with a combined November-December issue.
