[Scpg] next Mon Nov 16 "Home-Scale Grain Growing in Santa Barbara"

[LBUZZELL at aol.com]

On Monday, Nov  16th the Santa Barbara Permaculture Guild will offer a free 
presentation  and discussion on "Home-Scale Grain Growing in Santa  
Barbara," featuring well-known local garden  and farm expert Marshall  Chrostowski, 
landscape manager of the Pacifica Graduate  Institute campus and market 
garden and other local members with grain-growing  experience.  
 
The event  will take place from 7 - 9 pm in the Holy Cross church 
auditorium behind the  church at 1740 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara, next to the Mesa 
Fire  Station.
 
Marshall will talk about the  pros and cons of various summer and winter 
grains for South Coast climate and  soil conditions, including oats, barley, 
amaranth, quinoa, rice, spelt, heritage  wheats, etc. and how to obtain, grow 
and harvest the best grains in  our area.
 
The meeting will include a  potluck -- please bring food/drink to share and 
your own cup, plate, utensils  and napkin. We try to generate no trash!
 
We also hope to have brief  reports by local permaculture guild members on 
the recent Bioneers conference  and the International Permaculture 
Convergence that is meeting in Africa in  early November.
 
Linda
