Basics of Urban Homesteading
Organized by Leslie Goldman

Description: This workshop is intended to be a lively round table discussion,
passing a talking stick. Come listen and have your voice heard about the subject of growing food in your back yard becoming a backyard farmer
and gardener, and knowing personally the farmer growing the best of your
food.

Some say we will return to a bright green future with numbers of us growing food in our backyards supplanted by community gardens, and food grown by local organic farmers who we know and support. We will celebrate those who are growing some of their own food at home, growing food not lawns, being backyard farmers, and look at living in intentional community that is earth based.

Do you have experience doing this? Show up! Participate in a lively
cheerleading session guaranteed to send you home gardening!!!

Participate in our roundtable, in an lively discussion joined by other local inspirations who love to garden.

Confirmed participants include an avid gardener; Malaki Obado, who grows
much of his food in his backyard, Bill Tall, of City Farmers' Nursery,
a source for incredible organic plants in San Diego; and Leslie Goldman, Shelly Stewart, an avid backyard gardener who raises chickens,
Your Enchanted Gardener, Co-Founder of the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community within walking distance of SDSU.

Caroyn Chase Update: She called in sick, April 23 2010.

Please show up and share your excitement for growing food, your own
medicines, and flowers.

We will (tentatively) show the film "Homegrown Revolution" a 15 minute film about the Dervais community
in Pasadena who are paving the way to "a Path to Freedom" through being sustainable right
where they live.

This Youtube opens with Bill Tall of City Farmers Nursery talking to
Pacific College's Dr. Wang at the Pacific Symposium '09. Bill planted
seeds that he would help the students of the Pacific College of Oriental
Medicine begin to grow some of their medicines here locally.
At the City Heights Community Garden, sponsored by the IRC,
Rich, a PCOM graduate, is now growing medicinals. I spent
some time out there on Saturday. Very Imprressive work sponsored
locally by the IRC, backers of the City Heights Farmers' Market,
the New Roots Farm, and more!!!!!

At the City Farmer Nursery, Bill grows a lot of the plants himself
because he finds he cannot find them growing organically elsewhere,
he says in this Youtube.





The two are old friends.

CITY FARMER
