I attended the "Natives for Pollinators"workshop. Very informative. Jeff Bridge shared his extensive knowledge about California native plants and how we, as urban gardeners, can contribute to maintaining the endangered pollinator population by wisely choosing plants for our gardens. The nursery has a good inventory of natives.
Just attended their fruit tree pruning workshop by Jeremy Watts. We learned so much and he was great about answering our questions about specific problems.
Liked the personable welcome, the quality and varieties of their plants, and the aesthetic art scape of the nursery. Super excited about the future welcome center that will be made out of straw bales! The propagation lead, Linda was super knowledgable and the plants looked so green and healthy. Want to pick up some of her herbs and peppers! Looking forward to attending the classes, especially the Tale of Five Natives! Also ordering straw bales from Jeff to build a straw bale garden.
