Move at the Pace That's Sustainable
Field trips are here! This week we're visiting five different farmers' markets and farms across the San Gabriel Valley — from the tiny-but-mighty Villa Parke market in Pasadena to the massive Claremont Farmers' Market. Issue 27 has the full schedule, parking tips, meeting spots, and everything you need to know before you go. Plus a poem I keep coming back to when life gets busy.
The Good Kind of Tired
July is one of those months where the garden looks calm on the surface — but there's a lot going on underneath. This week in class: what to do in your garden right now, a summer field trip schedule with five dates to choose from, and a short piece on community gardens. Issue 26 is up.
