The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden hosts organic gardener Wendy Johnson 
on Sunday, March 29, at 2:00 p.m.  Wendy's lecture, Timeless Spring: 
At Work in the Wild and Cultivated World serves as a wonderful 
kick-off to the opening weekend of the Botanic Garden's Spring Plant 
Sale which runs the entire month of April.

In this vernal equinox season, we remember anew that every garden is 
rooted in the native landscape growing just outside the garden gate. 
Come join longtime organic gardener and educator Wendy Johnson for an 
afternoon of inspiration and engagement grounded in the principles 
and practices of organic gardening in the wild and cultivated world.

For more than thirty years, Wendy, one of the founders of the organic 
Farm and Garden Program at Green Gulch Zen Center in northern 
California, has been meditating and gardening at Green Gulch where 
the fields curve like an enormous green dragon between the hills and 
the ocean.  Wendy says a garden has a life of its own, and successful 
gardeners respect and learn from it. "I never say I manage the 
garden," she confides. "The garden really manages me."

Wendy will sign copies of her book, Gardening at the Dragon's Gate, 
after her presentation.  Part memoir of a passionate gardener, part 
master class in organic gardening and sustainable agriculture, and 
part meditation on the natural world, her book will also be available 
for purchase in the Garden Shop.
