“Basic Planting Guidelines” was anything but academic for the packed house of community members at City Mill’s recent garden education program. Led by Extension’s Tina Lau and the Master Gardeners, it encouraged home gardeners to be plant detectives, able to observe and diagnose their plant problems and to introduce the Oahu Master Gardener Helpline as a resource online, via the telephone, or in-person. It was the latest example of CTAHR and City Mill working together to promote more food production in the state, as well as raise awareness and heighten the availability of garden products locally. 

If achieving a more sustainable Hawaiʻi is important to you, consider attending Growing Together: Farmers, Food Hubs, & Community Perspectives on April 27 @ 12:00-1:30 p.m. The upcoming forum hosted by the CTAHR Food Systems Working Group will bring together experts and advocates in food sustainability. They aim to highlight the critical role of local farmers and food producers in ensuring a sustainable food system for Hawaiʻi.
