Native Plants
Saturday, February 21, 11am–12:30pm
Bradley 2 at The Social, 50 people
By using native plants, you can transform your garden into a more natural habitat that is not only beautiful, but also supports local ecosystems, conserves water, and reduces maintenance. In this workshop, you will learn some basic principles about gardening with natives and be introduced to some natives that do well in garden settings. Emphasis is on specific gardening practices that increase biodiversity and ecosystem function. Our local California Native Plant Society Garden Ambassador will provide a resource list and planting guide as part of this workshop.

Care and Maintenance: Considerations in Garden Planning NEW
Wednesday, February 25, 11:30am–1:30pm
Pat’s Barn, 30 people
In this workshop, we look at how maintenance requirements may factor into your garden choices. Flower growth habits, longevity, irrigation, sun and soil needs—these considerations and more make a difference in how much time you devote to your plants. We identify and address issues such as: How long will the site be a garden? How might you want it to change or grow over time? What are the relevant seasonal considerations? Delving into these questions can help you design a garden that best fits your needs.
