May Saturday Open Garden

With lots of things in bloom there will be plenty of pollinators out and about. Learn how Master Gardeners are creating a model wildlife habitat garden for a home landscape with plantings, bee and bird houses. Fruit will be setting in the orchard and Master Gardeners will be busy thinning the crop. The summer vegetables will be emerging and berries will have set.

See how to manage the grape canopies, get tips for success in the composting area, and finally, as we head into the inevitable dry summer months May is a good time to rethink how to use water more wisely with mulch, irrigation techniques and water-efficient landscaping.

Master Gardeners will be available in all areas of the garden. Bring your samples and questions on pests and diseases. Peruse the gardens at your own pace. Be sure to ask questions and get advice.
