dear friends,
On Saturday, Dec. 4, from 9 am - 1 pm, in the Student Farm Fieldhouse,
it's the first annual bioregional seed swap for our lovely Terra Lobata,
the home of the valley oak! Bring native seeds as well as those for
imported plants which have worked well for you here in the lower
Sacramento Valley. This is a great chance to clean out those "seldom
seed" cobwebby seed boxes as well as hunt through your neighbor's seed
collection for a great find.
Bring your own seed packets to take your treasures home, and if you
wish, some food to share at lunchtime.
See you there!
Love,
-Wolfgang
DIRECTIONS:
There's a UCD parking lot nearby. I don't know how much it costs. Come
by bike or by foot.
The Fieldhouse is located on Extension Center Drive on UC Davis land.
>From Highway 80 (she's a mighty good road), take Hwy 113 north. Take the
Hutchinson Drive exit and head right on Hutchinson. Before you get to the
first light, hang a hairpin left on Extension Center Drive. Pass TAPS on
your right. Enter the Ecological Garden through the sidewalk between the
great big feathery trees. The Fieldhouse (or Bulb House to you old-
schoolers) is the yellow building with the green trim, open doors and
meowing cat.
From Davis, take Anderson south, or Russell west, until you hit LaRue
(the southern continuation of Anderson). Take LaRue to Hutchinson and
continue as above.
From the EC Gardens tool shed, head due south to the edge of the gardens
and follow the "olive tree path" south to the paved road beyond the
vineyard. Turn left and walk a couple minutes until you see a white
cement sidewalk on your right, leading to the Fieldhouse.
