Organic Fruit & Vegetable Gardening

CALENDARADMIN | | June 9, 2016

Need help with your garden as we roll into summer?  The Organic Fruit & Vegetable class led by the Arboretum’s Horticultural Supervisor, Jill Morganelli, is the perfect place to look.  Jill will be taking the class to the Permasphere, Garden for All Seasons and Crescent Farm.  Please bring sunscreen, a shady hat, and wear comfortable clothes and shoes. 

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!

Fall – September 10, 2016

Autumn is the season of harvest and transition.  The focus of this class will be on drought tolerant fruit trees, crops, and their nutritional qualities.  Fall is the best time of year to plant herbs so the group will also talk about savory and medicinal choices.  You will finish the year with cleaning / sharpening tools and getting the garden ready for winter.
