I (this is Ken Foster) was an apprentice at the U.C.S.C. Farm and Garden in 1985. We just had our fortieth anniversary celebration of the apprenticeship program on 7-28-07 and we had 450+ former apprentices and friends attend. We had a dinner on the farm, workshops, presentations and music. I lead a networking group on ecological landscaping, wouldn’t you know? Here’s a link to their website. Be sure to take a tour of the Farm and Garden, it’s one of the great destinations of Santa Cruz, CA. !
Here are some photos from the event.
