Just in time for pruning season! Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Orin Martin, long-time manager of the renowned Alan Chadwick Garden at UC Santa Cruz, and writer/editor Manjula Martin, Orin's daughter, for a discussion and signing of Fruit Trees for Every Garden—their substantial, authoritative, and beautiful full-color guide which covers everything you need to know about organically growing healthy, bountiful fruit trees.
Orin Martin is manager of the three-acre Alan Chadwick Garden (home of 600 fruit trees) at the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Farming Systems at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and manager of the orchard at UCSC's Farm & Garden. Since 1977, he has taught classes, lectures, and workshops to thousands of home gardeners, apprentices, students, and budding farmers who have gone on to found and lead organic farms, teaching gardens, and food justice projects around the country and the world.
Manjula Martin, Orin's daughter, is a writer, managing editor of the literary magazine Zoetrope: All-Story, and editor of the book Scratch: Writers, Money, and the Art of Making a Living.
