Second Saturdy On The Farm Feb. 8
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Santa Cruz County Fair Grounds
(see times)
The Agricultural History Project Center and Museum continues the monthly Second Saturday On The Farm on February 8, 11am – 3pm at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, Highway 152 outside Watsonville. This event is FREE! Donations appreciated. Bring your whole neighborhood to participate!
This February 8th Second Saturday features a scheduled talk on pruning, tractor driving for kids, Valentine card making and cookie decorating, chocolate hearts and a chocolate exhibit from Donnelly Chocolates, hayrides, movies, practice cow milking, and other activities for children. The indoor museum exhibit area will be open and activities will be inside if it rains.
11:30 am - 12:30 pm – Gustavo Beyer, owner of Alladin Nursery, will be demonstrating pruning fruit trees
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Mike Wallace of Watsonville, author of “The Borina Family of Watsonville†will give a presentation about the book and be available to sign books.
Ongoing: Tractor driving, Valentine card making, cookie decorating, and other fun activities for kids.
Gustavo came from Mexico City 25 years ago and has worked in nurseries from San Jose to San Carlos. He became owner of Alladin Nursery, in Watsonville, 9 years ago. He is quick to say he is not a horticultural major: he just fell in love with plants and in his 25 years he has attended many seminars and training, been an active member of California Association of Nurseries.
Gustavo will bring fruit trees, tools and some books and guides that will be helpful for attendees. He says there is no right or wrong to pruning; it’s not about killing the plant. It’s about how you want it to look.
In "The Borina Family of Watsonville," newly published by the Museum of Art & History in Santa Cruz, author Mike Wallace reintroduces four individuals whose impact will long be felt in Santa Cruz County.
"It's really an amazing story," said Wallace, who spent 15 months conducting interviews and researching a sketchy written record to pull together the story.
It's a tale that should appeal to those interested in California's history of immigration, agriculture, politics and women.
