Dear Farm Friends,
Don’t forget about our first seasonal gardening workshop this Saturday at Alemany Farm. It’s all about soil, so come get your hands dirty and learn some fundamentals!
It Starts with the Soil: Composting 101 and Soil Fertility for Your Garden
Saturday, May 10, 11 am – 3 pm
Instructor: Jason Mark
If you want to have healthy plants, you need healthy soil. This workshop will cover the basics of maintaining soil fertility, including annual cover cropping, compost building, and soil testing.
Jason Mark is a co-founder of Alemany Farm and a veteran urban gardener.
To sign up: Send us an email at community.gardeners@gmail.com
There is a suggested donation of $20 per person; no one turned away for lack of funds. Our workshop presenters are volunteering their time; all donations will benefit Friends of Alemany Farm via our fiscal sponsor, the San Francisco Parks Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Advanced online donations are preferred. You can make a donation on our online donations page. In the “in honor of” field on the donation form, please enter the name & date of the workshop you’re attending. (Alternatively, you can pay with check or cash at the workshop. Checks should be payable to our fiscal sponsor, San Francisco Parks Alliance, with Friends of Alemany Farm noted on the memo line.)
