Foothill Municipal Water District will hold a workshop, “Backyard Horticulture Especially in the Wildlife Urban Interface” on Sat. June 28, 2012, at Loma Alta Park from 9 AM-noon.
Ellen Mackey, staff ecologist for the Metropolitan Water District, will present the workshop. Mackey has converted her backyard into an urban farm/orchard that feeds her family and preserves water. She integrates organic farming with native landscaping because “if it doesn’t produce food or support wildlife, it doesn’t get watered.”
Call or email today: space is limited. For more information, call (818) 790‐4036 or email: koblak@fmwd.com.
