Young fruit trees and bushes need a little extra care to get through their first summers in the AZ Desert. We will talk about how to prepare your space now for the summer heat that is coming and protect your new tree investments.
We have two 90 minute tours of a Permaculture Food Forest called Cultivated in Scottsdale. Join us either Friday evening or Saturday Morning. The property is a 10 year old food forest designed, built, and maintained by a landscape designer. You will see how fruit tree guilds can be effective and beautiful. Her 120 fruit trees, vegetable gardens and duck pens are great examples of how we can urban farm in the desert.
New topics every month. In this LIVE online Q&A Session…Bill McDorman will be discussing key issues relating to growing your own food and saving the seeds yourselves. He will be answering your seed questions live!
Besides providing the respiration for our plants, the foliage can be a direct method for getting nutrients into the plant itself. A virtually immediate foliar feeding of nutrients can give your gardens the boost they need to improve vitality and growth. Yet with limitations of temperatures and avoiding flowers, the biggest gardening question we get asked is how and when do you fertilize vegetable gardens? We will talk with gardener and chemist Anthony Dominguez about these aspects of foliar feeding our gardens.
Grains for Guts & Gardens

Thousands of resilient, flavorful and adapted whole grains formed the foundation of nearly every meal. Whether you have gluten caused gut troubles or have come to see the harm caused by chemical grain production, this short class will help you understand why a return to fresh-ground, ancient and heritage grains may just be the simple and elegant solution you have been looking for.
