Are you interested in planting perennials vegetables in your garden and want to learn more about them?

The Ecology Center is hosting a class on Perennial Vegetables on Saturday May 29th at the EcoHouse in Berkeley and taught by our own Christopher Shein.

Here is the ad from the Ecology Center Calendar:

Join us for a lecture and Q & A with Christopher Shein of Wildheart Gardens and Instructor at Merritt College Landscape Horticulture Program. Learn to select and grow low-maintenance edible plants and how to naturalize annual crops such as lettuce, arugula, chard, collards and potatoes by seedsaving. Bring questions about garden vegetables and fruits. There will also be culinary herbs, native flowers, and fruits for sale. Plant sale starts at 12pm and is a fundraiser for the EcoHouse. Unusual perennial vegetables such as Bolivian Sunroots (Yacon), Tuberous Nasturium (Mashua), Tuberous Oxalis (Oca), Egyptian Walking Onions, Sunchokes, Tree Collards and more will be available.
