SUMMARY:Book Talk at the San Jose Garden Club\, November 12
DESCRIPTION:I’m absolutely thrilled to have the incredible opportunity to speak at the San Jose Garden Club on November 12th! Since way back in 1972\, they’ve been all about spreading knowledge and fostering a love for horticulture\, gardening\, landscape design\, and floral design. \nAt my talk\, titled “Apricots and the Valley of Heart’s Delight“\, I’ll be diving into my passion for apricots\, sprinkled with local history and memories from the Valley of Heart’s Delight. And let me tell you\, encouraging fellow gardeners to plant apricot trees\, whether it’s the classic Blenheim or any other heritage variety\, is something I’m incredibly passionate about\, and it’s just perfect for the Garden Club! \nGardening isn’t just a hobby for me\, it’s a way of life. I adore cultivating flowers\, veggies\, and of course\, nurturing and harvesting my beloved apricot trees! I can hardly contain my excitement to swap gardening tips and tricks at the Garden Club meeting. And I’ll be sharing all sorts of juicy details about the Santa Clara Valley’s history\, my fond memories of growing up on an orchard\, and even some mouthwatering apricot recipes and resources from the brand spanking new 5th Anniversary Edition of my cookbook/memoir\, For the Love of Apricots!

SUMMARY:Saratoga Blossom Festival\, June 8
DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy the historic Saratoga Blossom Festival that celebrates Saratoga’s orchard history and world famous fruit! This will be my seventh year at the Blossom Festival where I will share tastes of apricot recipes\, local apricot products\, and sign the 5th Anniversary Edition of my cookbook/memoir: For the Love of Apricots: Recipes and Memories of the Santa Clara Valley. I hope you will join me at this charming event located in the Saratoga Heritage Orchard as we appreciate the Valley of Heart’s Delight of the past and the orchards that remain today! \nThe Saratoga Heritage Orchard site was originally part of the Quito Rancho Mexican land grant in 1841\, which included present-day Saratoga\, Campbell\, and Cupertino. In the 1880s\, it was owned by the Marian family. The property was purchased by F.C .Cox in the 1920s\, who farmed apricots and prunes for 30 years. In the 1950s\, the land was owned and farmed by three generations of the Seagraves family until the City of Saratoga purchased the land in the 1970s to preserve it as a working orchard representative of the once vast Valley of Heart’s Delight agricultural heritage. Saratoga’s Novakovich family brought this orchard back to life in the late ’70s and maintained it as a productive commercial orchard\, producing Bing cherries\, Blenheim apricots\, and French prunes for over 40 years. \nExplore the orchard\, discover the work of local artisans\, enjoy antique cars along with lively tunes of Bluegrass & Dixieland music\, the hum of vintage farm motors\, and stop by to see me in the heart of the orchard!

SUMMARY:Author Book Talk at Saratoga History Museum
DESCRIPTION:I’m pleased to be giving a book talk at a virtual event hosted by the Saratoga Historical Foundation and the Cupertino Historical Society and Museum. I’ll discuss my journey in creating my cookbook that shares over 60 heritage recipes and modern tastes that showcases the versatility of California’s beloved and world-renowned fruit. Essays woven throughout the book provide historical perspective on the Valley of Heart’s Delight\, as well as memories of growing up on an orchard property as the fruitful landscape was being plowed under to form the Silicon Valley; perhaps one of history’s most dramatic transformations to occur within one generation.
