Join the 2nd annual Grow Your Own Festivals at U.C. TERC Field Station in Tahoe City on May 31 from 4 to 7 p.m. or on June 1 at Truckee River Regional Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. These free community events will focus on edible plants that local gardeners can grow in Tahoe’s unique climate.
Register to attend and/or reserve high-elevation, edible garden seedlings available for pick up at the event. This year’s highlights are tomatoes and peppers, leafy greens, potatoes, peas, squash, onions/leeks and edible flowers.
Enjoy hands-on demonstrations and vendors will be on-site exhibiting container gardens, raised garden beds, compost, kids’ activities and more. Those who have pre-ordered seedlings can pick-up them at the Slow Food booth.
There will be a Grow Your Own Festival, as well, on June 8 at Tallac Historic Site in South Lake Tahoe. | slowfoodlaketahoe.org
