It’s the Lettuce Grow Together Garden Club, which began on March 20 and meets every Wednesday evening through at least the end of June at the Petersen Barn Community Center. The goal of the club, says club leader Jasun Wellman (known as Plaedo), is to “demystify the process” of organic gardening, food preparation and slow cooking. “Learning to grow food can take years,” Plaedo says. “It can be intimidating.” In addition to gardening and preparation instruction, Lettuce Grow Together will have guest speakers, book readings and various seasonal gardening activities, all to promote sustainability. The weekly class welcomes all from Eugene, yet Plaedo wants to place special emphasis on growing the class with Bethel community residents. “There are pockets of this community that don’t have this,” he notes. “There’s an interest in cultivating this culture.” Lettuce Grow Together Garden Club meets 6 to 8 pm every Wednesday at Petersen Barn Community Center, 870 Berntzen Road.
