Coming and Past Interviews and Workshops:

More people than ever have been gardening since March 2020, especially food gardening. Seed sales were up 100-400% in 2021 and the trend is continuing. Now, in 2025, interest is up again following uncertainty over food prices due to tariffs and tariff threats.  

Upcoming Events

On Wednesday, May 14, 2025 I will present a free lecture titled “Food Gardening in America: What’s Going On Now” at San Francisco State University. It will be in the library building, in Room 286, at 1:30. This is not a how-to garden session, but a presentation on the factors that decrease or increase food gardening and how best to increase the utilization of food grown, however there will be tips useful to gardeners and participants will leave with a potted vegetable. Refreshments will be served. To attend, just show up.

On May 17, at 10:00 in the morning, I will give a lecture and hands-on workshop on Plant Propagation at the Garden for the Environment, at 7th Avenue and Lawton. There is a small fee. Go to gardenfortheenvironment.org for more information.

(Note that the power in my home went out in the middle of the November 20 talk, but it was restored very quickly, so I was able to go on after a brief interruption.)
 
I also gave a Zoom talk  for Sloat Garden Centers on February 26, 2022, which was on eating from a small food garden. Here is a link to that talk:

On February On February 13, 2025, 12:30-2 Pam presented a Zoom talk called “Love Your Lemon” on planting and growing lemons. It was primarily geared to San Francisco, though most of the information, including basic care, pruning, and control of common pests, is pertinent wherever lemons are grown. The talk was sponsored by Just One Tree.org, a project of Urban Resource Sytems.

Column:

The SF Chronicle  dropped my column in 2023, after the Food + Wine section shrank to 8 pages or less. However a search on sfgate.com will get you a number of articles about or by me that appeared in the Chronicle.
