This Saturday's free gardening class is going to be a fun one. At 10:30am on Saturday 3/9, Wendy Leiva, a recent graduate of the Austin Permaculture Guild's
Permaculture Design Course and Citizen Gardener instructor for the
Sustainable Food Center, will be giving a presentation called "You can eat that?!? Edible Plants for Central Texas." This hour will describe a
whole host of plants that are edible and to help expand our
idea of what an edible garden can be. I'm excited to hear what Wendy will share with us!
