Fresh salad greens are one of the most productive and rewarding crops to grow year round in our foggy coastal climate. A salad from your garden can be so much more than a bowl of chopped lettuce. A salad can include diverse shapes, colors, textures, flavors and nutrients, from common greens like arugula and spinach, to underappreciated wild edibles like purslane and amaranth. In this hands-on workshop we will discuss all of the potential as well as cover everything you need to know about producing and collecting your own salad greens from seeding to the dinner table. At the end we will sample a salad for inspiration. Come learn from the amazing growers at Little City Gardens.For phone or email registration: Please call (415) 731-5627, or email info@gardenfortheenvironment.org.
