Events › Edible Landscaping: A UC Master Gardener Webinar

Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/98167819801

Join Master Gardener, Deborah Christman, and learn how to integrate fruits, vegetables, and herbs into your landscaped yard to grow amongst your flowers, shrubs, and trees. This is the perfect talk for anyone who doesn’t have space for a dedicated kitchen garden or simply wants to gain knowledge about adding edibles to established landscaping. Ideas will be shared about edible substitutes for ornamental plants as well as great plant combinations to try.

Deborah has been a Master Gardener since 2016, spending much of her time at the demo garden in Walnut Creek. Previously she taught elementary school full-time for 38 years and conducted hands-on math/science workshops for teachers across the country. She was part of the team that built 22 raised beds at her Danville school for gardening and taught fifth-graders how to design and plant unused spaces for the gardens. Deborah acquired her Landscape Architecture Certificate from UC Berkeley in 2012 and is an active board member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. Deborah started gardening in the 70’s at the Cal State University Fullerton organic garden, the kick-start of the CSUF Arboretum that is well-used today. She worked as an intern with an Oakland Architecture/Landscape Design firm to install children’s green spaces at elementary schools. She spends many hours in her own edible garden that is nestled in with ornamentals, natives, and many gift plants from students and friends.
