Workshops

Raised Garden/Vegetable Beds 
10am
Keith Stilson, UC Master Gardener of Butte County 
Raised beds are designed for less bending and stooping over with lower maintenance for weeds, watering, pests, and replanting. You can have more control over your soil mixture and easily change the soil texture, fertility, and tilth of your beds, plus reduce pests with the ability to add gopher wiring and copper barriers around edges. Discover the wide variety of materials and approaches to making raised beds for your garden.

Espalier 
10:30am
Tom Hansen and Tom Gagne, UC Master Gardeners of Butte County 
This workshop will begin with a short history of the art and science of Espalier, then move on to tree selection and the specifics of how to train a fruit tree to grow flat against a wall or fence, creating a work of art that happens to produce fruit.
