Water is the base for all life and critically important during these years of erratic rainfall. In this workshop, instructor Avry Miller will discuss the role of water in agricultural irrigation; how to evaluate soil moisture and structure, understand the impact of environmental conditions on irrigation and determine the irrigation needs of specific vegetable and tree crops. Students will look at a variety of garden-scale irrigation systems through a water conservation lens.
About the Instructor - Avry completed the advanced Apprenticeship with CASFS in 2018. Returning for the 2019 season, Avry led irrigation management on the CASFS farm/garden. Currently Avry works on a permaculture food forest, surrounded by fruit trees, berries, and perennial vegetables in Felton and is constantly discovering the mysteries of plants and how to be a water wise gardener. Avry seeks to connect people with the planet through tending the land, growing food and sharing knowledge.
The cost of the workshop is $30 general admission; $20 for Friends of the Farm & Garden members, and certified UC Master Gardeners; $5 for registered UCSC students.
