Upcoming Events at the Garden
What's new at the Garden of the Sun?
Plant Propagation
Plant propagation is in full swing at the Garden of the sun. Starting in September Master Gardener volunteers gather weekly to plant cuttings and care for baby plants, nurturing them until they will be mature enough to sell at the spring plant sale and be planted in your garden. Thank you to the group of Master Gardeners who constructed our hoop houses that are used to keep the plants warm and protected from the elements in winter.
Fruit Tree Removal
In October Master Gardeners made the decision to remove some older, ailing fruit trees from the orchard and plan new plantings. The old trees were hauled off to Gallo Winery for composting.
Children's Garden gets a fresh coat of paint
Thanks to some of our creative Master Gardeners, the old potting bench has a fresh splash of paint and everyone has been invited to paint a river rock, adding a colorful border to the fairy garden.
