New Class Series: Dancing with Nature
Farming and gardening is a dance with nature. Although it is possible to throw some compost down, add some seeds or starts, and walk away expecting a crop sometime in the near future. This often leads to disappointment and calling oneself a black thumb, or the phrase "I kill everything I plant!" It is much more satisfying to commit to your plot and engage with it in what the seasons bring...a waltz, a two step, or maybe a tango! This ongoing series "dance" classes teach you how to engage with your plants. How to observe them, let them lead you, follow their natural rhythms.

Finding Food in the City with Kate Armstrong
Saturday, July 20th
9-11 am Sunnyside Farm @ 44th & Vallejo $25 per person REGISTER HERE... Learn to identify edible urban greens with the help of Kate Armstrong, a woman who knows her way around the local-est of foods...wild urban food Did you know you can find fresh food growing nearly everywhere in a City? And we don't mean in your neighbor's garden! Join Kate Armstrong on a food finding stroll through the Sunnyside Neighborhood. Wild and edible foods grow everywhere and it takes a trained eye to identify them and know how to best eat them. Kate is an Accidental Permaculturist and Urban Forager. She grew up on a small diverse organic farm in the 50's. The skills and knowledge from this childhood are now being used in an urban setting where she teaches 'putting food by', gleaning, foraging and the many uses of 'weeds'. Sustainability is a keen interest, especially when it helps bring communities and small neighborhoods together to create local food sources. Currently she is experimenting with fermenting foods, making her own bread again, and writing her blog: WhatGrandmotherKnew.com. Teaching is one of her passions and she brings broad knowledge and lively curiosity to her subject matter. Be prepared for the class:
