If you've been waiting to get your vegetable garden started, wait no longer!  Spring is upon us and with that, the University of California Master Gardeners will be holding the third of its Advice to Grow By seminars. 

 
Packed with practical information, the seminar will be held from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday in the new demonstration garden at 2156 Sierra Way in San Luis Obispo.  Best of all, it's free!

Topics discussed include:
         *  How to "win a gold" with your Victory garden.
         *  Getting the most from your kitchen garden.
         *  Adaptive Gardening
         *  Planting - when to plant what, and how to extend the season.
         *  From seed to seedling.  How to successfully sprout and plant seedlings.

There will be many tips on protecting your plants from extremes in weather and transplanting seedlings to ensure a healthy and bountiful harvest.  Planting guides (also called crop circles or planting wheels because the guide is round) and "The Gardener's Journal" will be available for purchase at the workshop.

The seminar will be held outside, so comfortable dress and sun protection are advised.  Attendees are welcome and encouraged to bring a folding chair.  Rain does not cancel as the auditorium is available in the event of a sudden downpour.

UC Master Gardeners hope to see you at all the monthly Advice To Grow By seminars.  So, bring pen and paper, your best armchair and get ready for more great advice.

Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the garden.  Restrooms are located in the main building, through the glass doors marked "UCCE Auditorium" at the parking lot level.
