This is just a reminder that the LA Garden Show at the LA County Arboretum and Botanic Garden starts tomorrow, Friday, May 1 and runs through the weekend until Sunday, May 3, http://www.lagardenshow.com/.

The good news for urban farmers is that this year's theme focuses on a variety of edible plants that can be "easily grown in a garden. From fruits and vegetables to herbs and grains, the LA Garden Show, "A Festival of Flavors" offers something for every garden---whether that garden is in pots, on a balcony, in the backyard or spans several acres."
