DESCRIPTION:Learn the best growing methods and practices for productive Bay Area 
 vegetable gardening with seasoned expert Willow Rosenthal. In these 
 difficult economic times it makes more sense than ever to grow some of your 
 own fresh produce and since food travels 1500 miles on average to reach the 
 grocery store, growing your own food is one of the best ways to reduce your 
 ecological footprint. This three-hour class will cover topics such as the 
 most effective gardening philosophies and methods, differences between 
 urban and rural farming that present challenges and opportunities, the 
 different types of urban gardens and how to create them, garden layout and 
 preparation, East Bay crops and timing, garden maintenance and introducing 
 animals to make your garden a real farm. Willow, founder of City Slicker 
 Farms, will present utterly practical advice for becoming a truly 
 productive urban farmer, including specific crop yield information and 
 planting times, crop rotation calendars and natural pest management 
 guidelines. This first indoor session features a best-practices slideshow 
 of intensive organic urban farming from around the globe that will inspire 
 you to turn your hobby garden into a truly productive cornucopia for your 
 family and community. Please contact us to register.\n\nSpecify when
