Master Gardener Classes September 2011

Native Plants Saturday, September 17: 9 a.m. – noon

EDC's native plants support our colorful, beautiful and interesting native birds, bees, and butterflies. Naturally adapted to our Mediterranean climate with cold wet winters and hot dry summers, native plants survive when other plants give up and die. Come to this class to learn more about native plants and their interactions with our native fauna as only Master Gardener Virginia Feagans can cover.
