Garden of the Seven Sisters
The UCCE demonstration garden, Garden of the Seven Sisters, acts as an outdoor classroom where Master Gardeners can teach the community techniques for sustainable, science-based gardening practices geared towards the home gardener.
Master Gardener volunteers lead monthly workshops to demonstrate these practices in an effort to educate home gardeners about how to cultivate and maintain an environmentally sound home garden to suite their individual needs. The techniques used all follow the principals of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which include conserving resources and limiting inputs through low water use plantings, composting, providing habitat for beneficial insects and wildlife.
Funding for the development and maintenance of The Garden of the Seven Sisters comes from private donors, Pacific Gas and Electric Company and the San Luis Obispo County Community Fire Safe Council.
