Thursday, April 1st, 2010 The San Fernando Valley Iris Society is happy to present Geri Miller of Home Grown Edible Landscapes.
Home Grown Edible Landscapes grew out of an effort by Master Gardener, Geri Miller, to reach out to like-minded people who were searching for sound, research-based resources for challenges they were facing in their own back (and front) yards. Through the overwhelming response to her fan page on Facebook, it was clear that there was a growing national "grass roots" interest in learning to use landscapes in a more environmentally sound and productive way. As a UC Davis certified Master Gardener and horticulturist, Ms. Miller has been designing, planting and teaching in edible and native gardens, from private residences to public schools, since 2004. Working to strengthen communities, much of her work over the years has been pro bono to educators and non-profits focusing on children. Her philosophy is that there is more value in teaching individuals and families how to design and care for their own gardens than in the "stop and drop" style of traditional landscaping. The additional yet no less important benefit possible from this approach is a richer experience for the individual client or family by:
There's nothing like starting
a garden to bring a family or a community together!
Themed Gardens that Geri can make presentations for:
For the April 1st presentation Geri will share with us
the "secrets" to raising edibles within an urban
homestead. She will give an overview that would touch on
some topics like: soil management, organic strategies,
direct sowing, seed startinggrowing and strategies for some
warm season vegies.
