MetroED's Upcoming World Garden Workshop Features Summer Vegetables

The Metropolitan Adult Education Program (MAEP) is offering a new free-of-charge World Garden Workshop on Incorporating Summer Vegetables in the Landscaped Garden on April 21 at the Erikson Adult Center located at 4849 Pearl Ave, San Jose.

Master Gardener Sue Bell will speak to gardeners on incorporating summer vegetables into an urban garden during a free workshop from 10 a.m. to noon, rain or shine, in room 18, across from MetroED's World Garden.

Gardeners who don't want to dedicate an entire plot to growing a vegetable garden should find this month's workshop very helpful. Bell has more than 14 years experience in designing and building edible gardens and tends to more than 30 fruit trees and vegetable varities within her own urban garden.

The World Garden is located on the southwestern edge of the Erikson Adult Center campus. Look for the redwood trees and the greenhouse roof after entering the fenced parking lot on Minas Drive, off of Pearl Avenue.

To register for the free workshop, call 723-6450 and ask to have your name added to the April World Garden Workshop list or email ritab@metroed.net.
