Event Details

Join us in the Waterwise Community Center’s beautiful public garden for a discussion and demonstration of the most important seasonal activities to care for your waterwise or California native garden. Keeping your garden healthy and looking great is not complicated, but relies on knowing what to do and when!

We will cover:

⁃ Fall season pruning and shaping of plants (for the ones that are tended to in spring)

⁃ Seasonal mulch and compost application: what to do and what to avoid

⁃ Common fall season weeds and tips and tricks for dealing with them

⁃ Watering / Irrigation for waterwise and native plants: how much and how often

⁃ Special tips for “establishment” care in the first year of a newly planted plant or garden.

⁃ Fall planting: which waterwise plants are still happy to be planted in fall.

⁃ Proper planting for waterwise and California native plants with a planting demonstration

⁃ Plenty of time to answer your Fall garden care questions!

This workshop will be held partially outdoors, so please check the weather and dress appropriately. Please bring water, a hat, sunblock, etc. as appropriate for the weather.
