Saturday Aug. 18th - Sunday Aug. 19th

9AM - 5 PM

One of the great joys of living in Northern California is that we can garden all year round, creating fall and winter gardens that rival the beauty, diversity and productivity of summer gardens. This is the time to put fall and winter seedlings into the ground while the soil is still warm! Choose from hundreds of varieties of heirloom brassicas, lettuces, salad greens, chards, leeks, and herbs as well as old-fashioned annual flowers. We'll have lots of ornamental and edible perennials too.

This is a free event with Garden Tours at 2pm on Saturday and 10am & 2pm on Sunday.
