Lavender Day

This colorful, fragrant, and free event, sponsored by Green Acres Nursery, features their representative, Greg Gayton and Christine Eschen of Tres Jolie Lavender Farm, Grass Valley, speaking about growing and using lavender.

Roger Steel, beekeeper and mentor will also be on hand with bees and honey samples, to answer all your questions about bees. Lavender plants, lemonade, and gift items will be available to purchase, or better yet, win something lavender in the drawing. The bocce court will be open for demonstration and Murer House and museum will be open for tours.

The Murer House and Gardens is across Folsom Boulevard near historic Sutter Street. The home was built by Guiseppe Murer of Italy who purchased the site in 1921 and constructed the home in 1925.
