UCSC: 50th Anniversary Garden Celebration
August 10 @ 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
9:30am-12:00pm — Workshop at the Chadwick Garden “In Praise of the Permanent Raised Bed and Intensive Gardening” with Orin Martin
In honor of 50 years of public workshops, Orin will teach a workshop on an emblematic feature of our organic gardens: the permanent raised bed—a wide bed, intensively planted. Join Friends and fans on the Chalet porch for Orin’s lecture with demonstrations to follow at stations throughout the garden.
12:30pm-3:00pm — Celebration and Talk at the Hay Barn
Gather for food and drink in the Hay Barn at 94 Ranch View Rd, Santa Cruz, CA 95064. There will be remarks by Orin on the tradition of public service teaching at the Farm & Garden for 50 years. Orin will look back to 1974, the inaugural year of “Friends-style” garden workshops and the official founding of apprenticeship, and talk about the ongoing, enduring, yet still evolving nature of the Farm & Garden.
