On Monday, Nov 16th the Santa Barbara Permaculture Guild will offer a free presentation and discussion on "Home-Scale Grain Growing in Santa Barbara," featuring well-known local garden and farm expert Marshall Chrostowski, landscape manager of the Pacifica Graduate Institute campus and market garden.  The event will take place from 7 - 9 pm in the Holy Cross church auditorium behind the church at 1740 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara, next to the Mesa Fire Station.

 

Marshall will talk about the pros and cons of various summer and winter grains for South Coast climate and soil conditions, including oats, barley, amaranth, quinoa, rice, spelt, heritage wheats, etc. and how to obtain, grow and harvest the best grains in our area.

 

The meeting will include a potluck -- please bring food/drink to share and your own cup, plate, utensils and napkin. We try to generate no trash!

 

We also hope to have brief reports by local permaculture guild members on the recent Bioneers conference and the International Permaculture Convergence that is meeting in Africa in early November.

 

Linda
