Well, now we’ve gone and done it: organized our first event. We’re inviting people and everything.
This event is going to be different, though. Are you surprised? You really shouldn’t be. We are different. Or so my friends tell me. All the time.
So here’s the event. And you’re all invited. And if you can’t make it, don’t worry, you’ll see our edited version soon enough!
What: a frenetic cross-town exposition on plants, allergies, and health with Tom Ogren, author of Safe Sex in the Garden.
When: Wednesday, April 8th, from 1PM to 3ish
Where: Three separate locations around downtown SLO
What to bring: A notebook, questions, and a form of transportation
Details: We will meet at Meadow Park by the basketball courts. I will be your MC, and we will be filming the whole thing. Tom will take us on a tour, explaining the causes behind our allergies, showing us the worst plant offenders, and explaining how we can be proactive in reducing allergen propagation.
Come and join us! It will be a blast!

I would like more info so I could present this to our local city council. Are there studies? This is so fascinating and not surprising! Bring back the girls with their fruits and seeds! Certainly we could harvest and/or compost or in some cases just leave them on the ground, that’s pretty natural.
Way to go, Magick! I love your step right up and do it attitude!
Check out Tom’s website for additional information. He’s the subject matter expert on this.
Good luck! And I’d love to hear how it goes.

I’m sorry you can’t make it, too! I’d love to have you here. You could be our marketing person.
Tom did a symposium for Master Gardeners last year and had people shaking their heads in amazement and disbelief. He was a huge hit. This in is not going to be a normal everyday walk in the park. This is going to change how you look at every tree in every park from now on. What a real treat!!!
