| Description: | ||||
During WWII, Eleanor Roosevelt inspired the country by planting a victory garden in the White House lawn. Americans responded by growing their own vegetables and food, supplying 40% of the country's needs that year. Today our food system is heavily dependent on petroleum, adding cost and making food vulnerable to shortages if oil supplies are disrupted.
"Creating a Victory Garden" will be a class presented free of charge by inland Mendocino County Master Gardeners, to show how to plan, develop the soil, plant and irrigate their own "Victory Garden" in their yard or neighborhood. The date is January 17, 2009 from 8:30 - 12:00 at MCOE 2240 Old River Rd, Ukiah (in Talmage). The class will include a short tour of two school gardens and a greenhouse located at MCOE.
Participants will be required to bring the following items to the class: 1) A photo or plot plan of the garden area.
2) A jar 1/2 filled with soil from the garden area. (Don't forget the lid)
