This will be an interactive outdoor class with the goal of introducing community members to plants that can thrive in San Diego, some of our local microclimates, and some principles of sustainable agriculture and landscaping.
The class will include walking tours of San Diego neighborhoods and canyons as well as community garden workdays. The idea is to introduce our community to what grows well here and what plants are native, invasive, or edible. Then we will introduce some practices for growing here while keeping the native environment in mind. We will participate in local community gardens to gain hands on experience with tending the earth.
The formal class will last two hours from 10am to 12pm, but your instructor will make herself available for an additional hour after the official class ends for anyone with additional questions.
