Rhythmix Cultural Works, 2513 Blanding Ave, Alameda
In days of old, California offered a bounty of edible plants which were used as food by a population numbering from hundreds of thousands to over a million. Join Ploughshares Nursery Manager, Jeff Bridge for a presentation covering key food crops of Bay Area Natives.
About the Speaker: Jeff Bridge has worked half his life in nurseries all over the Bay Area, including Orchard Nursery and Florist of Lafayette, Far West Nursery in Santa Cruz and Flora Grubb Gardens in San Francisco. As manager of Ploughshares Nursery he is grateful for the opportunity to focus on native, drought tolerant and edible gardening to benefit society as well as working to end homelessness, as all profits at Ploughshares are used to maintain supportive housing on the old Alameda Naval Base for formerly homeless families and individuals.
