Meanwhile, Certified Horticulturist and Co-Organizer Mrs. Arona Forbes advocated for agriculture to be recognized as an essential part of health and wellness.

“Agriculture has been placed on the backburner for a long time. As the population ages we see the number of diseases that are food related for lack of proper nutrition. It is very important for persons to come out and learn more about how to re-discover our agriculture roots and go back to the garden to plant fresh fruits and vegetables so that our nutrition can be enhanced. We want to bring back greenery to the BVI,” Mrs. Forbes said.

Business owners and vendors who are interested in renting a table can contact Ms. Arona Forbes at 284-440-1509 by Friday November 15 for registration information.

“We want persons to come out and be a part of this life changing Expo. Admission is only $20 and it is worth way more than that, but we wanted to give everyone who has a vested interest in their health and wellness an opportunity to benefit from the information that will be delivered,” Ms. Creque noted.
