This week on In the Garden, we'll be “taking you down the road” to Corona Del Mar to visit a 2.2-acre gem of a garden along a busy stretch of Pacific Coast Highway.

Back in 2015, UC Master Gardener host Ann Liu spoke with the new Executive Director of Sherman Library and Gardens, Scott LaFleur, who was once the horticulture director at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden and took the helm at Sherman just that year.

Sherman Library and Gardens has been here since 1955 and Scott has continued with the botanical, educational, historical, and cultural institutions public gardens are intended to enhance.

Do you want to know how to get the most “bang for your [calorie] buck”? This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we revisit a great show from 2015.

We will get your taste buds and green thumbs in tune. UCCE Master Gardener Ann Liu will talk with Cathy Thomas, author of “50 Best Plants on the Planet” and served as featured food writer for the OC Register and more recently Orange Coast Magazine.

Cathy will educate you on the most nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables per calorie to grow and use in your kitchen. Kale, asparagus, chard, kumquats, and BRUSSELS SPROUTS! Just to name a few. And easy-to-grow tarragon!
