Open gardens are informal FREE events where you roam the gardens, watch what we are doing, see what we are growing and ask questions.

• Upon entry you will notice an updated garden of popular plants.
• Smell the large variety of culinary herbs from favorites to rarities.
• Be inspired by the blooming plants and learn how to care for them in the water-efficient landscape area.
• See summer vegetables emerging in raised beds, and the Berries and Grapes that have set fruit.
• Collect tips for successful composting and listen to the mini talk on How to Harvest Worm Castings.
• Find out about spring pest concerns in the orchard.
• May is a good time to rethink how to use water more wisely with mulch and irrigation techniques.

This FREE event is located outside–rain or shine.

Sturdy boots, long sleeves and long pants are recommended due to thorns and stickers on the vegetation. This will be an easy to difficult level event with uneven terrain. This will be a 14-and-Over event . Any participating minors must be accompanied by an adult during the entire event.
