Saturday Nov 6 I will repeat the event I did this summer called "Backyard 
Food Forests"
It will be in our Backyard Food Forest here in Santa Barbara. If interest 
remains high, I will repeat this event four times a year for Summer, Fall, 
Winter, and  Spring. Learning to respect the natural state of the garden in 
various seasons is an important part of eco-sensitive gardening.
There is beauty in each season without forcing everything in the garden to 
look like perpetual spring.
