As I began moving into my house this year, I started imagining my future homestead, specifically the food forest I envisioned growing in my backyard. I didn’t have much experience growing plants, so this semester I decided to take my first horticulture class at CCSF. Since I would already be on campus every Monday, I also added a Pilates class in the afternoon. Pilates was great, and definitely something I’d like to keep alongside my training. But horticulture was the real gem, and I want to share a little more about what I learned and how it sparked my own gardening journey!
