Perennials

By Mats Sunshine
The picture is a picture of a perennial in our own farm.

This week we were able to have the opportunity to enjoy the company of guest speaker, John Valenzuela. Mr. Valenzuela is a horticulturist, consultant, and educator who lived in Hawaii for 15 years before returning to Marin County. With the experience he gained working with fruit trees that he learned from his time in Hawaii, Mr. Valenzuela is grafting exotic fruit trees onto the trunk of local fruit trees to make an assortment of exotic fruit trees with multiple breeds of fruit. We were very lucky to learn from his expertise and although we don't grow perennials like the ones Mr. Valenzuela was teaching us about, it still could be helpful information for a home garden or a dying fruit tree that needs new life.
