Trying to reduce your garden water use? Thinking about adding California native plants?

It's October! Pumpkin season! This week on In the Garden, UCCE Master Gardeners Teena Spindler and Katrina Kirkeby have a fun show planned.

Teena and Katrina will tell you all about what exactly pumpkins are, how to grow them, and all the things you can do with them.

Besides eating them in pies and roasting the seeds for munching later, learn about what to do with what's left over. Use it to make a floral centerpiece or plant succulents in the shell for a living arrangement. So much fun for the holidays to come!

This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, UC Master Gardener Host Kris Bonner speaks with Don Hodel, UCCE Advisor for LA County on how “Dried Out Yards are not a Virtue.”

Tune in to hear how to have healthy (and cooling, energy-efficient) trees, shrubs, and yes, even lawns, in these dry times. This show was first aired in August of 2016.
