Edible Landscaping

Join the Marin Master Gardeners for a series of lectures about the ancient practice of growing food plants with flowers and other ornamentals in a landscape.


Now you can have your gorgeous garden and eat it too!  Even if you have limited space you can still enjoy growing edibles in containers or vertically. Learn how by growing fruit, vegetables, salad greens and herbs, you can save hundreds of dollars a year, eat better tasting food and help the environment at the same time.


The 1st of these lectures is Introduction to Edible Landscaping presented by Vicki Joslin and Toni Gattone and be on Wednesday, February 27 at noon in the Civic Center Library.
