Description

If you know Arlington Garden, you knowthat marmalade is our jam! Inside our 3-acres is a host of California native plants, Mediterranean climate-appropriate plants... and you guessed it ... a citrus grove! As a non-profit organization, most of our funding comes from private donors, but the garden is also funded through sales of marmalade made using Washington navel oranges grown by us on site. We are a free, volunteer-maintained public garden that relies on our rad volunteers to help us harvest and grow the oranges. In this workshop, one of them is also going to demonstrate how to make delicious orange marmalade! The workshop will demo the marmalade making process and attendees will be given the opportunity to sample Fuyuko's and Arlington Garden's marmalades :) Pictured: Fuyuko is smiling outside holding a delectable yellow peach gallette. Fuyuko Kondo is a professional pastry chef and dedicated AG volunteer! She graduated from Pasadena City College and then left to Europe for training in French and Belgian pastry. After she graduated from C.E.R.I.A, she worked at WITTAMER in Brussels and at LENOTRE in Paris. She returned to Tokyo and and became owner and chef of LA CHOUETTE pastry school and bakery shop. In 2014, she moved back to the US for a new chapter in life as a pastry chef in NYC. At the beginning of the pandemic, she moved to Los Angeles to join her family and open a cottage food business in her hometown of Pasadena. Arlington Garden is a climate-appropriate, habitat garden offering learning, inspiration, and enjoyment for all. We are a free, volunteer-maintained garden that is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We endeavor to engage, educate and demonstrate how a climate-appropriate habitat garden can be both beautiful and practical to maintain while incorporating the goals of water conservation, habitat creation, and environmental sustainability.
