$Then and Now\u2014Now and Then: A Celebration of 50 years of public workshops and Orin Martin's teaching$

We are celebrating 50 years of public workshops at the UCSC Farm & Garden and 50 years of Orin Martin’s teaching in the garden with two back-to-back events on August 10th.
9:30am-12:00pm—Workshop at the Chadwick Garden “In Praise of the Permanent Raised Bed and Intensive Gardening” with Orin Martin
In honor of 50 years of public workshops, Orin will teach a workshop on an emblematic feature of our organic gardens: the permanent raised bed—a wide bed, intensively planted. Join Friends and fans on the Chalet porch for Orin’s lecture with demonstrations to follow at stations throughout the garden.
12:30pm-3:00pm— Celebration and Talk at the Hay Barn
Come gather together for food and drink in the Hay Barn with remarks by Orin on the tradition of public service teaching at the Farm & Garden for 50 years. Orin will look back to 1974, the inaugural year of “Friends-style” garden workshops and the official founding of apprenticeship, and talk about the ongoing, enduring, yet still evolving nature of the Farm & Garden.
There is no fee to attend, but donations are encouraged and RSVP is required. https://agroecology.ucsc.edu/news-events/events/then-and-now
