"Laura has been on a lifelong journey to eat well, live well and make every concession to live a natural, wholesome lifestyle. A big part of that journey revolves around the foods that she and her family enjoy," a press release posted on the land trust's web site reported.
Laura has completed a 9-month Homestead Herbalism Course and certification at the Farm and Coventry in Pottstown.
Last year, Laura was an active member of the Mosaic Community Gardens at 423 Chestnut St. She held seminars, demonstrations and assisted with volunteer activities while tending to her own plot and those of others.
“I captured the essence of what a community garden is made of: amazing people who share and care about the environment, each other and what they grow and eat,” Washington said in the release.
The land trust also issued "A BIG THANK-YOU to all the amazing applicants for this position. We consider it fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview so many qualified candidates. It was a tough decision."
The group said "Laura’s qualifications, in the end, were the perfect match for our mission of creating neighborhood, gardening and promoting healthy choices. As a volunteer, during our first season, Laura made a big impact on all who had the joyful opportunity to spend time with her in the gardens."
