**Community Seed Event, July 9**

You're invited to join us for a special hands-on event in Grain and Heirloom 
Seed Saving, organizing, storing, and community distribution happening 
Sunday, July 9 near Ojai, California.

We will enjoy group processing of organic garden-scale seedcrops which have 
grown to maturity: heirloom barleys, wheat, quinoa, oats, fava beans, 
broccoli, sunflowers, kale, maize, daikon radish, and more. Experiencing 
these nutritious crops in abundant diversity furthers local food security. 
Helpful tools and simple methods will be demonstrated and samples of all 
seeds will be shared with participants.

There is NO FEE to participate, though donations are welcome. Lunch will be 
healthy POTLUCK including homegrown peaches and apricots. This event is an 
especially good opportunity to bring what you've grown to share and trade 
with others.

•WHERE: a leading-edge home botanic garden near Ojai, CA

•WHEN: Sunday, July 9 from 9am to 3pm

*Also, there will be a FIRE CIRCLE with fun, music, and overnight
accomodations for those arriving Saturday night!*

***Background/Description***

While stewarding one of California's most diverse "food forests", I
periodically link cultural learning opportunities with a need
for hands-on help benefiting this inspirational place.

After teaching, mentoring, and writing often about permaculture and
ecological design, this is a particularly satisfying and effective way I've 
found to share community organic growing experience. Enjoy healthy fun while 
socializing with our plant-people-friends!


Thanks,
Akiva
Ojai, CA
