EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GROWING TOMATOES--AND MORE!

The Sierra Club Big Bear Group will be hosting our annual Garden in Big Bear Symposium on Thursday May 16, 2013, 6:30 PM, at the Discovery Center. Featured speakers will be Vegetable Gardener Extraordinaire Fran Wyman and Master Composter Marv Cira. Fran will tell us how to successfully grow tomatoes as well as other types of vegetables. She will demonstrate the Global Bucket system, an innovative and inexpensive way to grow vegetables (flowers too) anywhere, including your deck or patio. Marv will be giving a demonstration of turning table scraps, paper, cardboard, and yard trimmings into healthy rich soil. You won’t want to miss this one! Bring your questions to the experts. Refreshments will be served.
