Organic Fruit and Vegetable Gardening
The Organic Fruit and Vegetable Gardening classes at the Arboretum combine Biodynamic, Permaculture and other natural gardening techniques that align with the seasons. Each class is part of a 16-hour series that highlights how to build habitat and soil while providing solid horticultural practices for the ins-and-outs of growing organic fruits and vegetables. Tours of the Los Angeles Arboretum Garden for All Seasons and Crescent Farm help to give visual meaning to the concepts you learn in class. It is a great way to connect with the earth, your friends and family, and the community!
Winter – December 10
The winter class is the first class in the series because it is all about preparation. In-depth soil building techniques are discussed along with the soil food web, composting and vermiculture, cover crops, how to build raised beds, winter crops and pruning fruit trees. Suggestions for small space gardening and vertical structures are discussed. Also included in this class are the recurring themes of Urban Agriculture in Action, The Moon, the Stars, the Sky and What They Mean to Us, What a Tool, and The Good, the Bad and The Ugly. Time to break out your tools and get down to business!
