Fig Wisdom
"There is a special job about being with figs because they are so ancient and so patient. They will be the last plant to leaf or fig in the spring. So do not be surprised if a month or two or five passes and then suddenly they leaf out."
- Lloyd Kreitzer

I Need Help!

​ I want people on a part-time basis to assist me for a few hours at the growers' markets which are during the week or week-end. Prefer Master Gardeners or people with good backgrounds generally in gardening, good communication skills, who enjoy the interaction with people and enjoy the sense of community and camaraderie. Training and knowledge in growing of Fig trees, Pomegranates and Chinese dates will be taught. Then these trained people will represent me at their local growers markets ...all over the state and region. This is a volunteer and/or sometimes paid position! Please contact Lloyd Kreitzer at nmfigman@gmail.com for the details.
