On Thursday November 17, 7:30-9:00pm the 
Santa Barbara Green Living Co-op presents Larry Saltzman, co-chair of the Permaculture 
Guild of Santa Barbara and the local chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers,  who will be facilitating a talk and discussion on "How to Create Flourishing Fruit Trees and Food Forests While Watching Water Use".  The talk will be held at the Watershed Resource Center at Arroyo Burro Beach in Santa Barbara

 Larry and 
his wife Linda Buzzell have an urban food forest with over 100 fruit trees on 
their 1/3 acre lot in the Samarkand area of Santa Barbara. Most of the trees are 
dry farmed, which means they have only been watered during the first three years 
to establish them, and after that maybe once or twice a year.

 Larry will talk 
about selecting, buying, planting, and maintaining fruit trees that do well in 
our climate and can be dry farmed. He will also discuss why dry farming is such 
a good way to care for trees, and what needs to be done to be most successful in 
this method. The event is free and open to the public and will take 
place at the Watershed Resource Center at Arroyo Burro Beach in Santa 
Barbara. see http://www.artfromscrap.org/wrc_about.html for directions
