Program: Discover the world of perennial vegetables—long-lived plants that return year after year, providing nutritious food with minimal effort! This presentation profiles a number of delicious vegetables you can grow here in Marin and explores a “plant-it-once” system that builds soil health and biodiversity. Learn about these hardy, sometimes drought-resistant plants to potentially include into your garden. They are productive, beautiful, and can keep you in food all year long.
