California Apricots – Lost of Orchards of Silicon Valley (lecture)

Join for Robin Chapman, author of
the new book California Apricots – the Lost Orchards of Silicon Valley as she
explores the history of the apricot orchards which dominated life in the Santa
Clara Valley for almost 100 years. From the Spaniards in the 18th century who
planted the first apricot trees to post World War II subdivisions along apricot
orchards, Chapman captures this golden age in a series of true stories.
Fascinating facts and a unique historical photo collection highlight this warm,
nostalgic and engrossing presentation.

desert from recipes in Chapman’s book will be featured compliments of Marlyn
Johnson**
