Stretching your Garden Harvest
Organic Gardening Weekend at Camp Stevens
Julian, CA
Sept. 6-8, 2002

Although fall gardening presents interesting challenges from pests and hot
weather planting, the rewards outweigh the horticultural struggle. Learn how
to extend your growing season. We will also focus on enjoying the bounty of
the garden's havest, spending time learning to cook what we grow and
preserve it for later use. Come and taste from our diverse garden, full of
exciting new and old vegetable varieties now available to the home gardener.
Take home a wreath made from the garden's natural materials. This hands-on
course will briefly cover the basics of organic gardening, focusing more
deeply on topics listed below:

winter cover crops

preserving the harvest: canning, jamming, and sauces

drying herbs and produce

wreath-making (materials provided)

seed saving

overwintering crops

growing alliums: garlic, onions, and leeks

The program will begin with supper on Friday and end with lunch on Sunday.
This program is offered in conjunction with Volcan View Farm. Cost: $80.00.
