[TheUWfarm] Tuesday Farm Lunch Seminar

Hello UW Farmers,

This quarter we will again be hosting Tuesday Farm Lunches and everyone
is welcome! Lunches occur every Tuesday in Guggenhiem Hall Rm 218 from
12:30 to 1:20. You can register for farm lunch seminar as BIO 486,
ENVIR 450, or ESRM 490. The sections are full right now, but if you'd
like an add code e-mail me your student id # and we can fit more
students. If you don't want to register, but do want to receive
e-mails about upcoming farm lunch topics, please e-mail me and I'll add
you to my e-mail list. This will be the last e-mail to the main list
serve.

This quarter we have great line up of speakers including:

Devon Pena- Anthropology- (subject: traditions, seeds and plant breeding)
Toby Bradshaw - Biology - (subject: Plant breeding classic and modern
approaches)
Doug Ewing - Botany Greenhouse (subject: propagating seeds - getting off
to a good start)
Hildegard Hendrickson - urban gardener (subject - taking care of kiwis,
figs and other urban fruits)
UW Fungi Team (subject - making Kombucha!)

There will be some assigned reading and open discussions. By popular
demand there will also be another activity day at the UW Farm.

I'm looking forward to a great quarter of farm lunches.

Thanks in advance for your support of the seminar, and if you'd like to
stay on the e-mail list please let me know!

Sincerely,
Beth

in butterfly wings,
stained glass windows,
blue-green bottles
and sun - through things.
