Events

UC Master Gardener Bekah Dubois will demonstrate how to get started with the latest gardening methods at the "Planting A Spring Vegetable Garden" workshop at Gamble Garden. Topics to be covered include: the selection of suitable warm season vegetables, companion plantings, raised beds, design and rotation, French Intensive method, planting edibles in the flower beds, amendments and improvements for your soil, correct watering, sun and plant nutrient requirements, plant protection, pests and diseases, and tending to the health of your garden

Master Gardener Debbie Rice will speak on growing herbs.  Topics include:  selecting a site; soil preparation; planting and cultivation; harvesting and use of your own lovely herbs.  Fresh and dry herbs can add flavor and reduce some of the salt in your favorite recipes, and wouldn't it be nice to pick a handful of fragrant herbs and brew a nice cup of caffeine free tea?  If you can join us, please call our office during regular business hours at (408)723-6450 or email ritab@metroed.net. We cannot accept calls on weekends or on the day of the workshop. People with small children are encouraged to make child care arrangements.
