Southeast Iowa
Chapter Leader: Faith Reeves
Location: Southeast Iowa
About Our Chapter: We are reflections of the care we take, the food we eat, and the time we commit. If we are blessed to have land to steward and soil to caretake, the health of the plants that grow in that soil reflects the care we take.
The presentation of a truly healthy plant takes time to perceive, and it’s more than the hue of green, how big it is, how fast it grows. We can learn to recognize plant health by picking up on nuanced color, structural form, reproductive vigor and uniformity, flexibility, and environmental resilience as health indicators along with taste, smell, and texture.
