Beginning (Again) in the Garden with Hazel White

Why do you garden, and what will keep you gardening excitedly throughout the year? Exploring childhood memories, our experience of place (sunlight, paths, shelter, view, variety, etc.) and the role of activity (growing food, building plant collections, taking care of land) in the creation of personal meaning, this workshop will ensure you will garden passionately all season long. Come with writing materials to plan your garden for 2010 and discover the heart of why you garden. Weather permitting; we will go out into the garden.

Hazel White grew up on farms in England and has always been interested in the relationship between people and landscape. She has written for Gardens Illustrated, the London Telegraph Magazine, Horticulture, Garden Design, Pacific Horticulture, and the San Francisco Chronicle. She is the author of 11 gardening books and is also a poet. She writes the monthly gardening checklist in the Northern California edition of Sunset Magazine.
