FREE Backyard Horticulture Class (Saturday, June 28th)

Foothill Municipal Water District, in conjunction with its Altadena retail agencies, is proud to offer a free backyard horticulture class titled "Backyard Horticulture Especially in the Wildlife Urban Interface."

The class will be presented by Ellen Mackey, a Staff Ecologist with the Metropolitan Water District and the Council for Watershed Health.  Ellen has converted her own backyard into an urban farm / orchard that provides her family with fresh, organic food and conserves water.  She integrates native landscaping with organic farming because, "if it doesn't produce food or support wildlife it doesn't get watered."  All budding urban farmers and horticulturists are encouraged to come!

Event details are provided below:
