A tour and class will be held in the Santa Barbara garden of Larry 
Saltzman and Linda Buzzell, who have designed and maintained a 
backyard food forest in their yard for over 10 years . The garden 
contains over 100 trees, mostly fruit but with some nut and 
edible-seed-bearing trees as well.  You will learn how to create a 
garden that is abundant in healthy food and provides a healing nature 
refuge right in your own backyard.



After a tour of the garden, there will be a class on backyard food 
forest design and permaculture principles. Among the topics covered 
will be living mulch, composting in place, natural succession, water 
conservation, rain water capture, stacking and layering.



Larry, who will teach the class, co-chairs the Permaculture Guild of 
Santa Barbara; Linda, a psychotherapist, is the co-editor of 
Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind (Sierra Club Books 2009). 
They both have certificates in Permaculture design and are active in 
promoting sustainable lifestyles in Santa Barbara in a variety of 
ways. They co-founded the Santa Barbara Organic Garden Club and in 
2008 were dubbed "Local Heroes" by the Santa Barbara Independent.



This event is RSVP only. Contact Larry Saltzman at 451-4168 or
