Join the Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden on Saturday, April 18th at 10:00 AM to learn what fruits and vegetables grow best in our climate, and how they can be sustained with the least amount of water and organic fertilizer.

Jon Bell from the Deep Roots Garden Center will be on-hand to discuss perennial vegetables and the concept of food forests. Attend the class, and receive a discount voucher to get started growing your own food!

Please RSVP by contacting Julie Gonella via email or at (310) 546-1354.
