February Open Garden at the Horticulture Center

Open gardens are informal events where you roam the gardens, watch what the Master Gardeners are doing, see what they are growing, and ask questions. Got garden problems?  Bring them to the ‘Ask the Master Gardeners’ table.

All areas are staffed with Master Gardeners: grapes, herbs, fruit trees, citrus, vegetables, berries, composting, water-efficient landscape gardens.
