The town's free Edible Gardening in the Desert workshop runs Saturday, Sept. 26 from 9 to 11 a.m. Late September is the start of the Valley's best growing stretch, so the timing is the point: this is when cool-season crops go in the ground. It is listed on the town's public events calendar under water conservation.
