SANTA BARBARA ORGANIC GARDEN CLUB PRESENTS FREE TALK ON "WATER: THE NEW GOLD" BY LOCAL PERMACULTURE EXPERT WESLEY ROE

Just in time for the rainy season, the Santa Barbara Organic Garden Club will present a free talk, "Water: The New Gold" on Wednesday, October 17 at 7 p.m. at the Community Environmental Council Gildea Center at 930 Miramonte Drive in Santa Barbara.

The speaker will be Wesley Roe, one of the organizers of the South Coast Permaculture Guild.  As water is becoming an ever-scarcer and ever-more-expensive resource in Southern California, Wes will teach us how to take advantage of the winter rains to provide for next summer's garden. An expert on water-catchment systems,  Wes believes that sustainable home gardening will require creative new solutions.

The Santa Barbara Organic Club had its first meeting on July 12, 2000 and presents monthly local events and activities on topics of interest to gardeners weaning themselves from chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers.
