Seed to Table
A series of lectures with Eugene Cooke

Thanks to all of you that attended The Edible Garden lectures. Eugene's talks were brimming with helpful information about HOW to garden but more importantly - he reminded us WHY we tend the garden. Being grounded, having a childlike sense of wonder about the world around us, building community. Planting as a service.

Nearly 100 people attended our four gatherings in Irvine, Belly Sprout in Fullerton, The Road Less Traveled in Santa Ana and Dancing Shiva in Los Angeles. Each venue had its own energy and each talk was unique unto intself. Eugene and I are humbled and filled with gratitude.

We plan to continue events like this and sincerely hope you will join us next time. Any feedback, testimonial or comments are welcome and appreciated. Please contact us.

Namaste,
Andrea

I didn't think that a presentation on gardening could be so inspirational and informative at the same time. Eugene was very impressive. His quiet demeanor, depth of knowledge and smooth style made for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. We sincerely hope that when next he visits he will be able visit our garden for a personal consultation.

I thought it was a great learning experience. I learned much about composting and growing different kinds of plants and vegetables. Eugene Cooke was fun and motivational. I suggest that if you get a chance to attend his next meetup, do so. To deepen our awareness of food he suggests working together to make food gardens right in our own backyards.

Eugene gave me the most important tools to begin my own edible garden: knowledge, inspiration, and confidence. In the week following his lecture I've turned my 26' x 12' back yard of grass into a garden waiting to produce. Eugene is a teacher in the truest sense of the word, and his humble, knowledgeable, and lucid approach made my experience a wonderful one.
