A Bite of China. The Chinese Food and Culture Festival is an activity in the @CHINA series, and will be held at CSU Long Beach. With 'Chinese Delicacy' as its general theme, the main event will be a competition for marketing campaigns in California for the culinary documentary A Bite of China, produced by China Central Television (CCTV). This is a lovely video tour of several English gardens that are not as well-known. I watched it looking for ideas to use in my own garden and picked up a few. This is a great way to tide a northern gardener over the dormant season, and to re-energize oneself for next year.
