Community Garden Event in San Andreas!

At this Open Garden Day Master Gardeners will have information available on why fall is a great time to plant. It’s also a perfect time to start a vegetable garden of winter crops. What are winter crops?

Come and find out.

In addition, advice will be provided on cleaning up garden debris and using it to make compost.

The November 22 Open Garden Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Master Gardeners’ Demonstration Garden at the Government Center, 891 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas.

Gardening information is offered free of charge. In addition, the learning center will be staffed by Master Gardeners who will answer questions and give out handy reference “Quick Tips” cards on controlling snails and slugs.

Tours of the demonstration garden will also be available.

When the garden is not open, home gardening assistance is offered by Master Gardeners through the Help Line: 754-2880. The public may call the number, leave a message regarding the problem, and a Master Gardener will return the call.
