[Lapg] Cont Ed Op: Camellias & Tea Tasting, 2/24, 9-11am, Nuccio's, Altadena

[Lois Arkin]

Hi, All---

 

This notice was in our Pasadena Star-News yesterday.  I talked with 
Mark, and he noted that the "breakfast" will be something like tea and 
scones, prepared by an England-native with several real-leaf teas.  
Speakers will include one of the Nuccio brothers and an author of 
Altadena history, both discussing the horticultural history of the 
nursery and the Southern California area.  He also stipulated that if 
the weather is rainy, the event will be postponed to another day.

//Since 1978, the Common Ground Garden program has helped Los Angeles 
County residents to garden, grow their own food, and healthfully prepare 
it.  Our targeted audience and priority are to serve limited-resource 
residents and those traditionally underrepresented.  By training 
community volunteers, we empower neighborhoods to create their own 
solutions.  Our Master Gardener volunteers work primarily with community 
gardens, school gardens, seniors, and homeless and battered women's 
shelters.//

 

//In 2007, 179 Master Gardeners volunteered 8,037 hours serving 64,262 
low-income gardeners in Los Angeles County at 31 community gardens, 48 
school gardens, 13 shelter gardens, 2 senior gardens, and 14 fairs and 
farmers markets.//
