Description

Saturday, January 28, 1:00pm to 3:00pm Planning a Year-Round Garden with Chris MontesanoThis two-hour class will give attendees information about how and when to plant a variety of vegetables, while considering warming local temperatures, growing periods and soil regiments. Harvesting and planting year-round is the goal. The book by John Jeavons, “How to Grow More Vegetables” will be a resource for the class. This is a planning, in-classroom informational event. Our teacher, Chris is a local gardener who has been farming since he was 6. One of the strains of beans growing in his Sonora garden came directly from Italy (passed down from his grandfather) He was a gardening instructor for a large garden co-op for many years in Calaveras County. He is full of knowledge and enthusiasm for growing all sorts of things (beans, blueberries, snow peas, strawberries, fruit). Chris has a passion for gardening and understands its power to influence not only our health with fresh food and movement, but also our (warming) planet. Last October Blue Zones Project sponsored a workshop with Chris that focused on how to work in a Bio-Intensive garden featuring double digging and seed saving. Please pre-register for this FREE class and be a part of the movement to eat wisely! Gardening not only gives us a reward of fresh fruits and vegetables, but it also gets us moving naturally and helps reduce the carbon footprint in our community.
