This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, UC Master Gardener host Katrina Kirkeby talks to MG Teena Spindler and will discuss what it takes to grow your own garden plant material in containers.
This is a perfect topic for those of us who live in densely populated portions of Orange County and the surroundings or just don't have the property to grow even one full-sized orange tree!
From buckets, toilets, feed troughs, kettle grills, cowboy boots to baby shoes, anything with holes for drainage can work for planting. Edibles, succulents, fruit trees, anything! You can take notes for projects like “Salsa Pots”, “Bruschetta Pots” or any other fill-in-the-blank food-themed container garden that suits your fancy!

This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, KUCI staff host and UCCE Master Gardener Katrina Kirkeby will talk with fellow Master Gardener Helen Wood about creating butterfly and wildlife-friendly gardens using native plants.
Butterfly gardens take key foundation plantings of specific host plants for any given butterfly species you hope to attract. Otherwise, there will be no food or “nursery” for the female and the next generation.
Wildlife gardens require five things – food, water, cover, a place to raise young, and an overall healthy habitat. Learn how to create your own no matter what size space you have. Also, we invite you to take some time to come see us at the 2022 Orange County Fair Master Gardener booth this summer and bring us your gardening questions.
