SANTA BARBARA ORGANIC GARDEN CLUB PRESENTS FREE WORKSHOP ON “SUCCESSFUL SEED PLANTING TECHNIQUES” WITH OSCAR CARMONA AT HEALING GROUNDS SAT, OCT 28, 10  – 12


“SUCCESSFUL SEED PLANTING TECHNIQUES” will be the topic of a free presentation by the Santa Barbara Organic Garden Club on Saturday, October 28th from 10 am – 12 pm. The event will be held at Healing Grounds Nursery in Santa Barbara (www.healinggrounds.org). Co-sponsors include HopeDance magazine, the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network and local sustainability think tank For the Future.



The workshop leader will be Oscar Carmona, owner and manager of Healing Grounds, an innovative program that combines an organic nursery and a therapeutic horticulture program.  Carmona will demonstrate some of the secrets of successfully growing healthy organic plants from seed. Through hands-on experience, participants will learn how to use these techniques in their home gardens.



Healing Grounds teaches groups and individuals how to cultivate plants in harmony with natural systems.  It also produces organic vegetable and herb seedlings for sale to the public and connects people to nature through classes, workshops and lectures about sustainable landscaping and gardening.  Healing Grounds is operated in cooperation with Transitions-Mental Health Association. Healing Grounds is located on San Antonio Road, ½ block north of Calle Real.



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