For Earth Day, I’m sharing some of my images from a recent visit to the Overcrowded Rare Fruit Garden of Thom Hendricks in Huntington Beach. Arranged through Slow Food OC<\/a>, Thom captivated our group of \u00a0Slow Foodies with his vast knowledge of plants and rare fruits, his wry humor, his down-to-earth descriptions of his technique of grafting up to 6 different varieties of a species on one tree, and a live grafting demonstration.<\/a><\/p>\n
