In the past year we sponsored a very
well-attended and effective agricultural roundtable series that led to the
development of proposals to the City
of Chico
for protection of farmland and support of community gardens and farmers’
markets.Text

Home gardening for food production just makes sense, now more than
ever. A diverse group of very talented and experienced organic
gardeners have agreed to share their knowledge with the Chico
community. Nine expert gardeners and local chef David Guzzetti are
presenting a series of talks, a cooking demonstration, and two field
trips starting January 11, 2009. These sessions are designed for both
novice and experienced gardeners.
Take this opportunity to gain the skills you need to prepare your soil,
make your own compost, and plant a garden this coming spring. *David
Guzzetti’s cooking demonstration emphasizing local produce will be on
Saturday January 31 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., and will include lunch
for all the participants. In addition to the topic listed, each
session will include tips on home food gardening that each grower has
to offer.
