TPR Home Gardening Event

“Grown in Your Own Backyard” at the Pearl Stable

The Slow Food movement is picking up speed as farmers markets sprout up across San Antonio. Fortunately, Texas Public Radio is here to harvest hints and tips on buying local produce and planting abundant backyard and community gardens. Join us for “Grown in Your Own Back Yard,” on Sunday, August 30 from 1 to 4 p.m., at the Pearl Stables. Gardening experts will be sharing advice on soil preperation, sustainable water practices, community gardening and more. The Culinary Institute of the Americas will also be on hand with cooking demonstrations on how to prepare your local produce. Full details about this event can be found at www.tpr.org.
