Sit Right - Why Does it Hurt to Sit?

Sitting is harder on your back than standing. Poor posture can lead to poor health. Dr. Sammy Tao showed the class the proper posture for sitting. Because we are all different, your chair needs to fit your body. Step one is to select the proper chair. Then you should select a table that is the proper height for the chair. The computer screen should be positioned directly in front of you....not too high or too low. Review the handout for additional information on proper posture.

Container Gardens Go Wild

Carol Knepp led a great class on container gardening. This type of gardening can give you instant gratification. In just a few hours you can fill a container with your favorite flowers or vegetables and bring life and color to a dreary space. To be a successful "container gardener" all you need to do is to gather a variety of containers that you like and add plants of your choice. Container gardens are easier to maintain than traditional gardens and can add beauty to your home patio, deck, porch, etc. Review the attached handout for more details on how to get started and maintain a container garden.
