Santa Monica Farmers Markets Library Panel Series: SAVORING THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR

Gardening and preserving stories and

strategies to improve your quality of life and your bottom line.

Backyard
gardening and food preservation are growing popular trends, but in the real
world, what can these practices do for you individually, and for the community
around you? Do we create a wider consciousness of community when we grow,
preserve and share the products of our own labor and that of local producers?
How does it affect the household bottom line and your overall quality of life?
Join the conversation with local practitioners, professionals and community
organizers about their experiences.
