Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens (RLA) will bring together the pleasures of the garden, the essence of the palate, and the art of the landscape with its 2010 Garden Series, during which experts throughout the year educate and delight garden enthusiasts.
The next program in the garden series will be a lecture and book signing by expert gardener Pat Welsh, who will offer helpful tips, hints and little-known but important information on growing winter crops, plus a culinary demonstration, sample tasting and book signing by creative chef Cathy Thomas, who will present a program dedicated to the benefits of organic gardening and organic food preparation, on Saturday, Sept. 18 from 10am to 12:30pm.
Thomas will introduce her new publication Melissa’s Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce: A Guide to Easy—to-Make Dishes with Organic Fruits and Vegetables, and Welsh will present her book Pat Welsh’s Southern California Organic Gardening, Month by Month.
Admission tickets, which are $15 for the general public and $10 for RLA members and students, can be purchased online at rancholosalamitos.com or by calling (562) 431-3541.
