Homestead Del Mar, CA
Organic Horticulture or Organic Gardening is the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants following the essential principles of soil building and conservation, crop rotation, biological pest management and heirloom variety preservation. It is the landscape around us that gives us our health, preserves our environment, and gives intrinsic quality to our lives. It is the basis by which every community has developed and thrived throughout history.
