Mark Steele
is a CSUN professor of Marine Biology and a longtime member of CRFG and our chapter.
In 2012, his “banana obsession” brought him to CRFG, and his other obsession with figs kept him here.
(He sometimes calls himself a “fig nerd.”)
Mark will be welcoming us to his home orchard, where he’ll show us the many fruits he grows. Members only PLEASE!

Event:   Garden Tour
Place:    Field Trip to Jose Ramirez’ house
(Members only, please!)

Jose
is a man of many talents: He is an elementary school teacher, artist, illustrator, and residential orchardist.
He transformed a weedy patch of land into a low-water, fruit-filled paradise in the heart of Los Angeles.
In a densely built residential neighborhood, he’s crowded more than 250 fruit trees along winding paths;
multiple varieties of pluots, apricots, nectarines, apples, citrus and avocados are planted so close that their branches intertwine.
We will be touring his lush
“food forest” to see how he does it. Members only PLEASE!
